Meet the Maltnhops Team!

Meet our Brewer - Phil Lyne

Phil has been brewing since 2016, joining the team at Maltnhops in 2020. He has made great mates within the industry and loves a good collab with other brewers. 

Phil is a big fan of the West Coast IPA style. His favourite WCIPA is "Big Eye" by Ballast Point Brewing from the USA. With Phil's love of his westies, he's ensured that the Maltnhops WCIPA is also a delicious ode to the style. 

Phil gets a real kick out of seeing people enjoy what he has created - ensuring his recipes and produce are innovative, of high quality and most of all tasty. 

The team have delivered a swag of awards in both the Indies and AIBA brewing competitions with more to come!
