The full Behind The Brewer deep dive into Love Lane Brewery, Home Bargains beer, and Higsons. From collapse to comeback, plus a Part Two answering real viewer questions straight from the brewery.

Behind The Brewer has exploded after the Love Lane Brewery episode and loads of you have asked if there would be more. This post reveals every brewery confirmed for future episodes, what’s filming right now, and why 2026 is shaping up to be massive for the series.

Right, the Budget’s landed, and I’ve been chewing it over with a pint and a raised eyebrow. I’m no economist, I’m just a bloke who drinks far too much craft beer and talks about it on the internet, but I know enough to see when small brewers are about to get kicked in the hops again.

Every so often, a brewery comes along that reminds you exactly why craft beer matters. Not hype. Not marketing waffle. Not wild accusations about AI recipe robots or some bloke in a shed typing “IPA” into ChatGPT. Just real people, real graft, proper brewing, and a community that stands behind it. Four Priests Brewery in Middlewich Cheshire, as featured on Channel 5 recently, are a proper British brewery with a back to basics brewing attitude.

If you’ve ever had a pint that made you grin like a daft Labrador, there’s a fair chance it came from Dog’s Window Brewery. Based in Bridgend, South Wales, this small independent brewery has been quietly knocking out some of the most characterful, creative, and downright delicious beers in the country — and if you haven’t tried them yet, it’s time to fix that.
