At Hops and Cans, we’re always on the lookout for breweries with compelling stories and outstanding beers. This month, we’re thrilled to highlight Fierce Beer, an Aberdeen-based craft brewery that has taken the beer world by storm since its founding in 2015.
Fierce Beer’s journey began when Dave Grant and David McHardy, both former oil and gas workers, decided to leave their careers and pursue their passion for brewing. With no previous experience, they poured their savings into this ambitious venture. Their risk paid off, as Fierce Beer is now turning over £5m per year and celebrated for its bold, flavour-packed creations and commitment to sustainability.
From hop-forward IPAs to unconventional sours, Fierce Beer’s range reflects its dedication to pushing boundaries. In fact, we’re thrilled to feature three of their standout brews in our subscription boxes:
- Fierce IPA (5.0% ABV): A perfectly balanced classic with a punch of hops and citrus.
- Cherry Cola Sour (4.9% ABV): A nostalgic sour that combines sweet cherry notes with a cola-inspired tang.
- Key Lime Pie Pastry Sour (4.6% ABV): A dessert-like delight, capturing the essence of a zesty lime pie in a beer.
Fierce Beer also stands out for its eco-conscious approach, incorporating sustainable practices in its brewing process and fostering a community-focused ethos. Visitors can enjoy their beers at Fierce bars in Aberdeen and Edinburgh or explore their brewery for a behind-the-scenes look.
