First World Problems

STEWART BREWING LIMITED

£3.3

First World Problems is a bold and complex Belgian IPA , featuring assertive bitterness from New World hops , layered with subtle fruit esters from Belgian yeast , and a distinctive spicy depth from malted rye . It’s a beer that balances hop-forward intensity with yeast-driven nuance and a dry, peppery finish. Originally crafted by James Hardacre , the winning entry in a 2014 homebrew competition , this beer has since been refined and reimagined, but still honours the spirit of the original recipe that captured our attention.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as STEWART BREWING LIMITED, number SC261791. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
