Founded in 2021 in Manchester, working almost entirely in wild ales: fermented with a house culture and aged in oak wine barrels for a year or more before being blended onto dry hops, fruit and foraged ingredients. Since 2023 they have been spontaneously fermenting cider too.
Balance Brewing & Blending make barrel-fermented wild and sour beers in Manchester, working with mixed-culture fermentation and high-quality British ingredients reimagined through historical brewing styles. Recent releases include Bramble 2024, the foraged Samphire 2024, Fools Gold, an apricot wild ale, and Birthday Blend 2025, plus Pressing Matters, a collaboration with Ampersand Brew Co. Each bottling carries its own vintage year, so what's in the glass is very much a moment in time.
UK delivery is £8.99, free on orders over £50.
