More news from Moor Beer
The big news from the Moor Brewing Company is that, as from
the end of August, you will now be able to get Moor beers in a
new format – cans! The beer will not be fined or filtered, so may
appear naturally hazy – instead Moor will pioneer can-conditioned,
modern real ale! Look out for launch events over the next few months.
The cans will be shipped around the globe.
The Brewery Tap on their Days Road site continues to go from
strength to strength. Invariably each event put on there is matched with
an offering from one of Bristol’s many exciting food franchises, and
accompanied by musical entertainment, so it’s not just about the beer!
The recent IPA weekend celebration party was a lot of fun, featuring
10 keg-conditioned beers, three in cask, street food, music and good
company. Much more is planned so keep a constant eye on the Moor
Beer Events pages on social media so you don’t miss out. The Tap is
open from midday to 10pm Thursdays and Fridays, and from midday to
8pm on Saturdays.
Bristol Beer Week kicks off on 19th September, and Moor is
expecting to be involved in four different events during this exciting

Their popular beer Nor’Hop featured at the Golden Ales category
tasting at the recent Great British Beer Festival, and was declared the best
at the event by popular consensus.
Proprietor Justin Hawke has been kept busy with speaking
engagements, these being in addition to the more usual “meet the brewer”
events. In July he was a guest alongside Mikkeler and De Struisse in
Portugal talking all things hops, brewing and beer. September’s agenda
includes speaking at a business seminar, and in October conducting
seminars alongside Domus and Schneider in Toledo talking about real ale

There will be more new beers besides the collaboration brews, so keep
an eye open for news on these!
