Chorus is the first fine English sparkling beer. A genuine new expression of what beer can be.
This pioneering beer is unlike anything before it. Chorus has the character of a fine sparkling wine: brewed with Chardonnay yeast to develop complex fruit flavours, and it is fermented longer to create a smooth, delicate finish.
Brewed at Baynhams Brewery, an independent, family-run business, in the heart of the New Forest in Hampshire by Harry, Tom and Lawrence Baynham, Chorus was imagined from a simple idea: a beer worth sharing.
Chorus Co-Founder, Tom Baynham, says they were undaunted by the challenges of breaking with convention. After years of experimenting, innovating, and perfecting, the first fine English sparkling beer was born. “There was no category for this; Chorus created one. A genuinely new offering for customers seeking a beer which can be shared amongst friends.”
Regarded as the “Oscars of Brewing”, Chorus is a 2026 award-winner at the International Brewing Awards 2026, and the London Beer Competition 2026.

About Chorus Beer
Chorus is the first Fine English Sparkling Beer - a genuine new expression of what beer can be.
Imagined and brewed in the heart of the New Forest by the Baynham family, Chorus was born from a simple idea: a beer worth sharing. For the table, the toast, and life’s ups, big and small. After years of experimentation, the family created something the brewing world hadn’t seen. Brewed with Chardonnay yeast to develop fresh orchard fruit notes and complex flavours, and blended with light malts fermented longer to create a smooth, delicate, biscuity finish, lifted by fine, persistent bubbles. Sparkling, complex, with all the character of fine wine.
