North East brewery S43 has welcomed Texan craft brewer Alex Rattray with a brief to add progressive American-style craft beers to S43’s range of English cask ales.
The brewery, formerly called Sonnet 43 Brew House, continues to brew English cask and keg ales under head brewer Michael Harker, while Alex – who has moved to the UK from San Antonio, Texas – is exploring beer styles ranging from intensely dry-hopped IPAs to barrel-aged imperial stouts and sours.
