4. Moor Beer

Born in the Levels and Moors area of Somerset, from which it takes the name, this flagship brewery since 2006 has moved to Bristol just in 2015. Thanks to the brewers’ knowledge of different styles and techniques, their beers take inspiration from the German naturally hazy philosophy mixed with an American approach that exalt the flavor, often hoppy, and the fine British secondary fermentation tradition. All these elements made Moor the first brewery in the world to gain the CAMRA accreditation for a canned beer and, consequently, be placed among the best micro breweries of the country. Let’s check out their new taproom and discover how they make beer with one of the tours. And remember, drink MOOR beer!

Started as beginners, brewing their first beers at home, their distinctive white and gold label is now recognized as sign of quality and excellence. Passion, innovation and the use of unusual tastes are the key ingredients for producing intriguing Pales and one of the best Milk Stout around the city, at the moment. Wiper and True encloses in itself the best features of the craft beer movement.
