Belgian Halcyon, 7.4% Imperial IPA with Belgian Yeast

Thornbridge Brewery

Price not listed

We love to experiment with our illustrious Imperial IPA, Halcyon, using its great balance and flavour profile as a canvas to try out new ideas. For this version, we have kept the hops, malts and water the same as usual, but utilised a completely different yeast variety. This time, we have selected a full-bodied Belgian strain, famous for the rich fruit flavours it creates within the beer; expect cherry and plum with whispers of cloves. ABV 7.4% / 440ml can Hops Chinook / Galaxy / Ella / Vic Secret / Ella Malts Low Colour Maris Otter You must be 18 or over to buy this product.

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 THE THORNBRIDGE HALL COUNTRY HOUSE BREWING COMPANY LIMITED, number 05142189. 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
Stated by the company: "In 2009 a brand new state of the art brewery was built at Riverside, Bakewell to meet with demand and allow Thornbridge to develop their range of beers. Brewing still takes place today on the original kit which has been moved to beside the Taproom at Riverside, which allows us to experiment with new brews, create bespoke Hall brews, collaborations and assist the main brewery in Bakewell." Source.
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
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
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.
