What Happened in May at Full Circle?: New Campaigns, Events and Highlights

Today we’re diving into all of this month's highlights, including a trip to Barcelona, two new beers and a brand new open mic night held in our taproom! Let’s get into it.

Full Circle X Cerveza Espiga

We had such an amazing time in Barcelona last week brewing a collab with  @cervezaespiga  and visiting some of the best local beer spots including  @humblebeerbcn  and  @espigabeershop .⁠

On Thursday, Cristian and Arnau from Espiga collected us from our hotel and we headed up to their brewery, through a super scenic route surrounded by vineyards. When we were there we brewed a DIPA which will be available from Espiga in the coming weeks and we were also treated to some authentic Valencian paella prepared by Arnau.⁠

After that we headed back into Barcelona and were lucky enough to be in the city when Barca secured the La Liga title, so we headed down to Las Ramblas to celebrate with the locals.⁠

Of course we had to spend some time taking in the sights of Sagrada Familia and La Boqueria Market on Friday morning before heading to Espiga Beer Shop to finish off the trip with a celebration with some of the amazing people we met over our few days in Spain.⁠

Our New Brand Initiative: #FullCircleBalance

This month so many of you got involved in our new interactive campaign. It was so lovely to see you travel far and wide with our beers, enjoying walks, bike rides and even fishing with a refreshing can of full circle beer to finish!


If you're interested in getting involved, here's the crack!


We’re encouraging you to snap a picture with a celebratory pint or tinny from Full Circle in hand, whether it be after (or during) a run, cold- water swim, long hike, or a round of table tennis. Absolutely anything! It doesn’t need to be a strenuous activity, and everyone can find their comfort zone with anything they enjoy.⁠

If you're not feeling a drink, no stress, still go ahead and tag us, we'd still love to see what you're up to!⁠

Don’t forget to tag us or collaborate with us when you share your photos and stories—we love seeing your moments! 


Be sure to use the hashtag #FullCircleBalance so we can follow along and share our favourites. Whether it's a pint at the taproom, a can on your travels, or a snapshot from one of our events, we want to see it all!

A Trip To Craft Beer Expo!

Last weekend, the lovely Hollie and Rachel headed down to Liverpool for the Craft Beer Expo—and what a weekend it was! The sun was shining, the vibes were lush, and the atmosphere was nothing short of electric.


Now in its 12th year, Liverpool’s Craft Beer Expo is the UK’s longest-running craft beer festival and a true celebration of the country's independent breweries. Held at the iconic Black Lodge Brewery in the heart of the Baltic Triangle.


Massive thanks to everyone involved for having us—what a class weekend!

Dual Beer Release!

WEST COAST LOOPER -WEST COAST IPA - 6.4%


If you’re a fan of the original Looper, you already know what to expect—bold, juicy flavours thanks to a perfectly balanced trio of Citra, Mosaic, and Cashmere hops. It's a full-bodied brew bursting with tropical fruit character, rounded out by notes of grapefruit, lemon, and lime.⁠⁠


West Coast Looper takes those same vibrant hop flavours and gives them a twist. Expect crystal-clear clarity, amplified bitterness, and a crisp, clean finish with fewer oats in the mix. It’s a punchier, drier expression of Looper—still hoppy, just with a sharper West Coast edge.⁠⁠Together, Looper and West Coast Looper are two sides of the same coin—East Coast haze meets West Coast bite, both brewed in true Full Circle style.⁠⁠


You can order cans on our web shop or drink in our taproom for a limited time!

FEET UP THURSDA' - TROPICAL SOUR - 4.0%


Our first sour of the year is packed with tropical fruit, punching you in the face with bags of mango, papaya and pink guava. Finished with a subtle sourness just tingling the back of your gums to balance everything out. The perfect thing to drink when you still have a Friday to go. After all, everyone deserves to put their feet up on a Thursda'.
