Hopulist Issue Six

hoppy session beers from Belgium; Conflux,
a modern American pale ale that has a juicy,
citrusy vibe; and Collision, a beer made to
represent the south coast of England with soft
honeyed notes of spelt malt and dank flavours
of Mosaic and Columbus hops.
Outside of this core collection, Unity
specialises in seasonal and limited run beers
that playfully experiment with saison styles
– at the time of writing they included: Été,
a summer saison brewed with elderflower;
Centenairs, a beer to celebrate the 100th
brew by the Unity brewhouse; and Fresco,
a summer Belgian IPA, which Hopulist can
categorically say is delightful.
The traction that Unity has gained within
the scene in just a short time is something
that has surprised but also delighted Jimmy
and his team.
“We’ve been totally bowled over with the
response we’re getting for our beers so we’ve
grown faster than we expected. We only have
a small 6bbl kit, we’re brewing at capacity and
have run out of space in our current unit, so
expansion plans are in motion to build a bigger
brewery with a proper onsite taproom rather
than the pop-up we currently have. If all goes
well we’ll be in production by June next year
and that will be the last move we make, it’s
important for us to us remain small.”
The success was well culminated when
Unity was named as one of the four best
