ABOUT PDBC
We brew a range of modern, progressive, and seasonal beers which focus on being sessionable and accessible to all. We have three core beers and release at least one new special per week. Whilst we love hop forward beers and prioritise NEIPAs – and there will always be plenty of those brewed – we love brewing a range of styles – this year brewing more WCIPA, Sours, Stouts and Lagers than ever before. We firmly believe that beer is for everyone.
We focus as a company on being accessible by not taking ourselves too seriously. We aim for our branding to be positive. To raise a small chuckle each time somebody picks up a can. But it is not just about the beer or their names – it’s about us being open and honest, and communicating what it is that we’re about to the people who work for PD and the people who drink our beer.
