Firebrand Brewing Co.is delighted to announce its new partnership with Kernowfornia Festival. Four of Firebrand Brewing Co.’s much loved beers will be served at this new independent festival which will be held in Looe, Cornwall from September 26-28th.
Joe Thomson, Co-owner and Head Brewer at Firebrand Brewing Co. comments: “We are so excited to be part of this new, proudly Cornish, music festival which is supporting grass roots, original music as well as local charities and projects. Kernowfornia Festival shares our passion for authenticity, community and Cornwall so we jumped at the chance to get involved.”
Joe continues: “Our hugely popular alcohol-free beers Shorebreak Hazy Pale and Little Wave Lager will be joined on the bar by our crowd-pleasing Helles Beach Cornish Lager and An Howl IPA. The Firebrand team is also planning to head down to Looe to soak up the atmosphere at this exciting new music festival.”
Kernowfornia Festival is a new age, pioneer in sustainable festivals, showcasing local, sustainable and earth conscious Cornish businesses, whilst hosting world renowned music artists. It is a net zero-waste festival, one of the first of its kind in the UK and will be held over three days from September 26-28th 2025, with two stages on Looe Beach dedicated to live music.
Firebrand Brewing Co was forged in 2012 in a converted milking parlour on the untamed edge of Bodmin Moor, North Cornwall. The idea was born from a passion for beer made from all-natural ingredients, Cornish spring water and American hops.

EDITOR’S NOTES:
- Founded in 2013, independent Firebrand Brewing Co. is based in Launceston, Cornwall. Head brewer and co-owner, Joe Thompson, started brewing in 2009 at which time he was the youngest brewer in the country at 21 years old. Originally working with Penpont Brewery, which focused on traditional ales, he wanted to brew a more modern style so created Firebrand Brewing Co. Passionate about brewing a high-quality product, Joe has instilled in his team the importance of using the best ingredients from around the world to create Firebrand’s beers.
- Firebrand Brewing Co.’s range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beers are available from their shop and independent retailers across Cornwall and beyond. They are also enjoyed in top hospitality venues including Adam Handling’s The Tartan Fox, Newquay, The Scarlet Hotel, Mawgan Porth, The Pig at Harlyn Bay, Nancarrow Farm in Truro, Prawn on The Lawn, London and many more.
- Originally based in a converted milking parlour on the untamed edge of Bodmin Moor, in 2021 they moved to larger premises in Launceston. This has enabled Firebrand Brewing Co. to brew more beer and add a taproom and a shop. They see their new home as a place for the community to gather, drink, and eat and they regularly host brewery tours, tastings, music nights and other events.
