Hackney Brewery and New York’s Barrier Brewing Company Announce Nationwide Tour

London’s Hackney Brewery have teamed up with New York’s Barrier Brewing Company for a nationwide tour from the 29th October – 2nd November, 2018 .

The tour will be kicking off the countrywide tap takeover in Liverpool, then moving on to Manchester, Leeds, London and ending in Bristol. They are launching a very special collaboration between both breweries, KRONK!, a Double IPA at 8% with bold, punchy American flavours. The beer was brewed at Barrier’s brewery in Oceanside, New York, and is now making its debut in the UK. Both breweries will also be showcasing other beers from their ranges.

Hackney have collaborated with two other New York breweries in 2018, including King’s County Brewers Collective (KCBC) and Finback Brewery. This KRONK! collaboration came about because of something shared by both breweries.

Jon Swain, one of Hackney’s founders, explains, “This was a relationship sparked by both of us brewing beers named Kapow!.” Hackney’s version of Kapow! is a juicy Pale Ale while Barrier’s take is a zesty IPA.

“We have always considered collaborations as a chance to learn from a hands-on point of view new techniques and ways to be able to make the best beer we possibly can.”

The Hackney x Barrier Tour schedule is:

October 29th at The Dead Crafty Beer Company (Liverpool)

October 30th at Café Beermoth (Manchester)

October 31st at North Bar (Leeds)

November 1st at Mother Kelly’s (London)

November 2nd at Small Bar Bristol (Bristol)
