Our Story

 

From One Homebrewer to Another

Crossmyloof Brew began in 2014 with a simple idea.

A commercial brewer friend arrived one day with a surplus sack of hops and a challenge:

"See if you can find homes for these."

What started with a few bags of hops quickly grew into something much bigger. Homebrewers across the UK were looking for quality ingredients, fair prices and honest advice, and before long Crossmyloof Brew had become a trusted name within the brewing community.

Over the next decade the range expanded from hops into brewing yeast, malt, all-grain recipe kits, wine and cider-making ingredients and the countless little bits that every brewer eventually needs.

But despite the growth, one thing never changed.

Crossmyloof Brew was always run by brewers, for brewers.

 

A New Chapter

Towards the end of 2024, founder Steve decided it was time for a well-earned retirement after ten fantastic years building the business.

As long-time customers and passionate homebrewers ourselves, we simply couldn't bear the thought of seeing Crossmyloof disappear.

After plenty of conversations, careful planning and more than a few cups of tea, we took over the business and moved it to its new home in the Cambridgeshire Fens.

Our goal wasn't to reinvent Crossmyloof.

It was to protect everything that made it special.

The same focus on quality ingredients.

The same friendly customer service.

The same passion for helping people brew better beer.

Just with a few fresh ideas and plenty of enthusiasm for the future.

 

Brewers First

We're not a faceless online retailer.

We're homebrewers who spend just as much time designing recipes, discussing yeast strains, experimenting with hop combinations and cleaning fermenters as we do packing orders.

If you've ever emailed us with a brewing question, you'll know we genuinely enjoy talking beer.

Whether you're brewing your very first kit or tweaking the water chemistry on your latest competition IPA, we're always happy to help where we can.

Because we've all been there.

 

More Than Just Ingredients

Today our range includes thousands of brewing products including:

• Premium brewing yeasts

• Over 100 hop varieties from around the world

• Freshly crushed malt

• All Grain Recipe Kits

• Beer, wine, cider and mead ingredients

• Brewing equipment and accessories

We work closely with respected suppliers including Hopsteiner, Crisp Malt, Charles Faram, WHC Lab and many others to bring quality ingredients to homebrewers across the UK.

Alongside these, we're continually developing our own exclusive Crossmyloof Brew recipe kits, designed and tested by brewers who love creating great beer.

 

Looking Ahead

We're proud of where Crossmyloof Brew has come from, but we're even more excited about where it's going.

You'll continue to see new recipe kits, exclusive collaborations, helpful brewing guides, blogs and plenty of brewing inspiration throughout the year.

Our aim is simple.

To make homebrewing enjoyable, approachable and rewarding for everyone, whether you're brewing your very first pint or your hundredth batch.
