Homebrew Collab #28: How Dark is Your Basement?

Homebrew Collab Challenge #28 is a special one, and has been set by the head brewer and owner at Basement Beer in Stokes Croft.

Ben would like you to brew a dark beer, his favourite will then be brewed on the kit at Basement, and served behind the bar!

All styles are open, but a couple of things to consider, try and keep it less than 7%, and think about commerical viablity.

You have until our meetup back at Basement on the 26th February 2026 for the showcase where all the beers will be tasted and the winner crowned!

For those new to the club, all challenges are free to our Patrons who, for £5 a month support the club and allow us to organise meetups, buy club merch and attend events such as Love & Beer. Everyone else is welcome and encouraged to join us for the challenge but we do ask for a one off contribution of £10 to the club.

Patrons, dont forget your discount code!
