Hand Brewing Company introduces new beers Worthing-based Hand Brewing Co is following up on the success of its big, bold, double dry hopped IPA, by introducing a new Jukebox series. Each Jukebox beer will have a different take on it, but it will always be dank, it will always be juicy, and it will always be 6% ABV. Available in both keg and can - with stunning artwork by brand partner Hello Marine - this new series is bursting with juicy notes of
pineapple, mango and bubblegum all wrapped up in a soft and luscious mouthfeel thanks to a load of wheat and oats in the grist. Hand Brewing is also bringing back an old cask favourite - its coffee stout, Tamper (née Tamper Man), first brewed in the Hand in Hand Brew Pub with coffee pals at Twin Pines back in 2017. The brewery at the Hand in Hand Brew Pub in Kemptown, Brighton, will be getting its tyres
kicked and a new brew schedule for 2022. This is where Hand’s specials, seasonals and pilot brews happen. And at the Worthing brewery’s temporary taproom work continues on a new fit-out, installation of the back bar and jukebox, and work on the main bar and other furnishings. The outdoor marquee is being replaced with a permanent and inviting space for customers later in the year. Find out more at www.handbrewco.com
