Here’s what we’ve been up to: 🎶 Brewery Beats Announcement: We’re thrilled to have launched Brewery Beats, moving from our beloved Spotify playlist to an in-person live music event in November. We can’t wait to see the brewery come alive with music and energy. 🍏 🍎 Apple Season & Cider Spotlight: We celebrated apple season by showcasing the Kentish Rubens and Bramley apples that make our cider distinct. This was an awesome chance to highlight the passion and local sourcing that go into every pour of our refined, 100% apple cider—no concentrates, just pure quality. 🎄🍽️ World Food Day & Christmas Menu Launch: To mark World Food Day, we brought attention to our new Christmas menu, with each dish perfectly paired with our premium beers and ciders. 🍂 🥮 Our kitchen embraced the season with an autumnal pumpkin tart, a nod to the flavours we love this time of year. We even turned one of our tables into a festive photoshoot, adding a sprinkle of holiday excitement. 🏃Curious Runners Event: We brought together our Curious Runners Club for an evening of interval training and post-run celebrations. Runners enjoyed our Curious brews, plus a special tasting from Athletic Brewing Co.—a great mix of accomplishment and community. 🍻 🎃 👻 Halloween Fun: We capped off the month with some spooky fun, sending October out in style. We’re always looking forward, but it’s good to take a moment and savour these memories.

The Brewer’s Bookshelf: As our name suggests, Curious is at the heart of everything we do.

    Curious about what's happening at the Brewery? This August, Curious Brewery showcased the dedication and expertise behind our premium brews. We celebrated International Beer Day with a spotlight on Matt Anderson, our COO and Master Brewer, whose leadership has been pivotal in refining the taste and quality of our Curious Lager. The Cathedral of Beer was bustling during our Summer BBQ, which brought together the community for a delightful mix of fine beer and grilled delights. IPA Day allowed us to highlight the unique profile of our Session IPA, loved for its bright hop flavours. On National Oyster Day, we partnered with Rye Fish Market, showcasing how our Champagne yeast lager perfectly complements fresh oysters. The pairing underscores our commitment to enhancing culinary experiences with our expertly crafted brews. We're excited to carry this momentum into September, continuing to celebrate the craft, the community, and the curiosity that fuels Curious Brewery.

  • Behind the Brews: Matt's Journey This International Beer Day, we're shining a spotlight on one of the many talented brewers here at Curious Brewery. Meet Matt Anderson, our Chief Operating Officer and Master Brewer. Here's a glimpse into his journey and what makes our brewery special. How long have you been with Curious Brewery, and what does your role entail? "I've been with Curious Brewery for 6 amazing years. As COO, I oversee Production, Logistics, and Retail, ensuring our products are safe, high-quality, and delivered on time. My role is all about maintaining the excellence of our brews and the safety of our team and customers." Can you briefly describe your path to becoming a Master Brewer? "I count myself very lucky to have spent the last 18 years doing something that I love. When I left University, I really didn’t have an idea what I wanted to do, so I got a temporary job at Stag Brewery in London while I was deciding… and that was really the start of my journey. I’ve brewed over 1 billion pints of Budweiser, Stella Artois, Becks, and Boddingtons, and worked at Samlesbury Brewery with the fastest beer bottling line in Europe. In 2018, I moved to Kent to build Curious Brewery… and the rest is history!" What’s your favourite Curious Beer or Cider and why? "Curious Lager is definitely my favourite – I really like the complexity and depth that you don’t get with most lagers." Raise a glass to Matt’s dedication and passion for brewing. Here’s to the craftsmanship behind every pint of Curious. 🍻
