Conjuring memories of some of our favourite smoked beers, we had a desire to create our own. To add an extra splash of umami to this beer, we chose to use Shiitake mushrooms as our smoked vessel.

Smoked on-site and then added to a tank for the beer to circulate through, imparting a delightful touch of smoke. The result is a subtle peatiness that adds a whole new depth of flavour to this stout.

Caramelised molasses and soy sauce work together beautifully for a unique flavour bomb.

Opened in 2015, Cloudwater boasts a team comprising of ex Brewdog and Port Street Beer House members as well as the former head brewer of legendary Manchester brewery, Marble. The idea is to produce a series of seasonal experimental beers which will push the boundaries of brewing.
