★ Award winningKnown for a full range of styles

Almasty brews in Newcastle upon Tyne without a core range and says so with pride: unchecked by tradition, free to push boundaries, with the changing seasons as the compass for ingredients and taste. Pale ales, hazy IPAs, session beers, bitters, stouts and sours come and go. In March 2026 its cask IPA Believe was named Overall Champion of the Cask at the Indie Beer Awards, and Mark McGarry has been director since the company was incorporated in January 2014.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
