Our work at Cloudwater starts with the intention of helping you relax and unwind with the finest quality modern beers we can make. We employ all the passion, skills, dreams, and experience of our team, and harness up-to-the-minute brewing science and techniques, out of respect for the ingredients our suppliers work hard to grow and process, and out of our gratitude for your support and trust.

We’re devoted to offering you value through bold, precise flavours, bottomless drinkability, the lowest possible off-flavour presentation, and consistency from one beer to the next.

Founded in 2014, we brewed our first beers on February 14th 2015. In our short history, we have made hundreds of different beers, in styles old and new, classical and imagined, evolving our brewing skills, honing our sensory evaluation techniques, and trialling fermentation and process changes in pursuit of ever higher-quality beer.

Outside our range of evolving and one-off seasonal beers, we collaborate with some of the world’s best breweries, and we also produce modern takes on classic styles. Though modern beer is our focus, we honour those that trail-blaze around us, and that pioneered before us by a constant focus on quality and innovation.

We are independently owned and directed by our co-founder Paul Jones, and committed to running an ethically conscious, human-centred business, with values that we all hold dear. Our intention is to support and nurture the food, drink and creative communities in Manchester, showcase the passion for innovation and ambition in the North, and help the UK lead the way in honouring tradition whilst pushing boundaries and evolving tastes through modern, seasonal beer.

At the heart of Cloudwater Brew Co. is a deep love for the changing seasons, each bringing with it an invitation to enjoy the scarcity and abundance the natural world offers. We take inspiration from our community, and the change of lifestyle each season, creating beer for moments with friends and loved ones, and to accompany quiet pauses and jovial conviviality as we relax and unwind.
