Neptune Brewery in Liverpool is celebrating being named best brewery on Merseyside by beer scoring app Ratebeer. In addition, its Mosaic pale ale was named best Merseyside beer.

Co-owner, Julie O’Grady, said: “We’re thrilled to have been awarded the accolade of best Merseyside brewery by RateBeer. For us, it shows appreciation of the hard work and quality beer we brew.”
Mosaic is Neptune’s 4.5% ABV single-hopped pale ale. Brewed with Mosaic hops, the beer has juicy flavours of tropical fruits, blueberries, and papaya, with notes of citrus fruit.
Co-owner and brewer, Les O’Grady, said: “Having Mosaic awarded best Merseyside beer is testament to why it’s one of our core range. It’s a very popular beer with our customers.”
Neptune Brewery has recently purchased a canning line from Micro Can, allowing it to package more beer, making a big difference to the business. New cans released so far this year include their first barrel-aged beers, Kelpie (a wee heavy) and Medusa’s Gaze (an American stout), which have been well received by the trade and general public.
The brewery’s latest beer releases are Takaroa, an IPA brewed using New Zealand hops, and Turbulence, a West Coast IPA collaboration with Manchester’s Marble Brewery. Turbulence was originally brewed in March 2020 for Neptune’s fifth anniversary celebrations, but due to covid-19 its wider UK release was restricted.
Beers are available while stocks last from selected bottle shops and via the Neptune online store, which launched last year.
