If, like us here at Coolector HQ, Dry January is not high on your list of priorities and you are, in fact, actively searching for new craft beer brands to add to your beer fridge then you are in luck as we’ve just done the leg work for you and found some excellent new breweries for you to enjoy in 2025. Check out our pick of some of the best below:
UNBARRED BREWERY
UnBarred began its journey in 2014 from the humble shed of founder and Head Brewer Jordan Mower. Driven by a passion for crafting bold and innovative beer, our original flagship IPA earned the prestigious Bev Robbins Award for Best Sussex Beer in its very first year. As demand grew, they transitioned from the shed to gypsy brewing, allowing us to expand production, refine their skills, and collaborate with other exceptional breweries along the way.
If you find that you’re a fan of their beers, which you most certainly will, they’ve got a great subscription service that will get them delivered every month.
BLUNTROCK BREWERY
Bluntrock was founded in Rock, Cornwall, in 2021 by George Collins and Hugo Roads, who shared a newfound obsession with quality-driven, US-style pale ales and IPAs. While these beers were making a splash in the national craft beer scene, access to them was scarce in their corner of North Cornwall.
The idea for Bluntrock sparked during a clifftop barbecue in late 2020, and before long, a small brewery, taproom, and beer garden took shape—crafted from recycled yellow shipping containers. This vibrant and creative space became a hub for their passion for fresh, diverse beer styles. The local community quickly embraced Bluntrock, fueling demand for their pale ales, IPAs, and other modern brews. Their tiny 150L brew kit soon hit full capacity as they worked tirelessly to meet the growing demand from the Taproom. Bluntrock’s story is one of passion, creativity, and dedication to bringing exceptional beer to their coastal community.
WILDE CHILD BREWERY
Wilde Child Brewing Co. began in 2010 when founder Keir McAllister-Wilde started brewing beer at home using basic equipment. His passion for brewing grew, leading him to transition to all-grain brewing and invest in better equipment. Encouraged by positive feedback from friends and family, Keir decided to pursue brewing professionally. After gaining experience with two of the region’s most awarded breweries, he launched Wilde Child Brewing Co. in 2016, three years ahead of his original plan.
Initially operating from a one-barrel plant in a garage, the brewery expanded to a 10-barrel operation in a 2,000 sq ft unit within two years. By 2018, Wilde Child had moved to its current location in Armley, Leeds. The brewery has since won numerous domestic and international awards and now supplies beers to some of the UK’s best pubs, wholesalers, and supermarkets.
TRACK BREWING
Track Brewing Company was born from founder Sam’s two-year global cycling journey, covering 35,000 miles across 25 countries. Inspired by the community spirit of local breweries he encountered, Sam returned to the UK to hone his brewing skills. In 2014, he established Track Brewing in a modest 2,000 sq/ft arch beneath Manchester’s Piccadilly Station.
After seven years, the brewery expanded to a 12,000 sq/ft warehouse on Piccadilly Trading Estate in May 2021. Today, Track Brewing continues to craft beers that embody the sense of adventure and connection that sparked its inception
POWDERKEG BREWERY
Powderkeg is a brewery of freedom-loving beer enthusiasts who forge their own path with curiosity, creativity, and defiance, producing what they call Free-Thinking Beer. But what exactly does that mean? It’s about looking beyond conventional ideas and traditions to reimagine styles and create something fresh, intriguing, and always exceptional. A prime example is their Cut Loose Pilsner, which reinvents the classic German style with a bold infusion of New Zealand hops, proving that innovation can elevate a beer far beyond expectations.
Committed to inclusivity, Powderkeg ensures all their beers are both gluten-free and vegan, making them accessible to everyone. Drawing inspiration from craft beer movements around the globe and classic European brewing traditions, they focus on crafting flavor-packed, easy-drinking session beers designed to excite both craft beer aficionados and casual drinkers.
BLACK LODGE BREWERY
Established in late 2015, Black Lodge Brewing is a dynamic, small-batch brewery nestled in Liverpool’s vibrant Baltic Triangle. Founded by passionate brewers, bar operators, and beer enthusiasts, the brewery thrives on experimentation, collaboration, and creativity. This ethos is evident in their characterful venues and the exceptional beers they craft, each inspired by their unique environments and experiences.
To commemorate their tenth anniversary in 2025, Black Lodge Brewing is releasing six limited-edition cans throughout the year, each designed to celebrate their journey and the community that supports them. Subscribers receive a six-pack of the featured beer and exclusive merchandise each month, embodying the brewery’s commitment to creativity and collaboration.
