After all the waiting, tasting, blending and time in oak, the beer still has a simple job.
It is there to be opened, poured and enjoyed.
Some of our beers are bright and fruit led. Some are more complex. Some take a little time in the glass. None of them are made to be difficult.

Behind these doors, beer moves slowly.
After fermentation begins, much of the beer spends a long time in oak. Months turn into years. Flavours soften, change and settle.
There is not much to rush at this stage. The barrels do a lot of the work, and we keep tasting until the beer tells us where it is going.
That is the blendery.

We are George and Charlie.
Most of what we do at Crossover is slow. Beer ferments in its own time, barrels change gradually, fruit arrives when the season decides.
Our job is not to force the beer into being something it is not. It is to taste, blend, wait, make decisions, and know when something is ready.
That is the part people do not always see. There is nature in the beer, but there is a lot of judgement too.

Round up your crew, bring your dancing shoes, and settle in for an unforgettable summer session on the terrace.
Fruit does not wait for us.
It arrives when it arrives, and we work with it when it is at its best. That might mean cherries, plums, berries, apricots or something else entirely, depending on the season and what feels right for the beer.
The fruit becomes part of the beer slowly. It is not there to cover anything up. It adds another layer to what time, oak and fermentation have already started.

Every bottle here has taken a different path.
Some have spent years in oak. Some have been shaped by fruit. Some are brighter, some quieter, some more wild around the edges.
That is part of what we love about this way of brewing. The beer is not rushed into being the same each time. It changes with the season, the barrels and the decisions made along the way.
Our beer is for the curious. Are you? /collections/beers

This is where a lot of our beers begin.
The wort cools overnight in the coolship, exposed to the air around the brewery at Elgoods, Wisbech. We do not add cultured yeast. Fermentation starts from what is naturally present here, which is why each batch is tied to its season and place.
It is a slower way of making beer, but that is the point.
