HAVING A GOOD TIME AND MAKING GREAT BEER

The founder, Phil, has been a man on a mission to bring amazing, tasty, delicious, and interesting beers to the world. He decided to open Play Brew Co after dabbling in home brewing and wanted to open in the place he grew up, Middlesbrough!

His interests include old 80s cult movies, Japanese pop culture and he is a really experimental cook in his spare time, he also has a really big sweet tooth which is infamous in the brewery! All of these factors influence Play Brew Co’s style and it’s how we came up with the concept for most of the beers, when they aren’t being nostalgic and memory evoking, the hoppier styles of beers are thoughtful and with purpose.

James is the dream maker, the artist and the scientist. Coming from a real ale background and joining us in 2021. He has made Play Brew flavours his own and took our beers to another level.

Aaron is the man about town, he knows everything about throwing events, from hosting hilarious and mind-boggling quizzes to cool af gigs. His mastermind subject is wrestling so make sure you get your WrestleMania references right around this guy and get yourself down for a show at the brewery when you can! They are not to be missed.

Lewis is our apprentice brewer! He's here at Play Brew to learn all he can and makes up one half of the amazing brewing team at PB.
