“I’m in one of the pivotal moments now of taking a step back and thinking ‘wow, this is better than I ever dreamt of’,” said Wiper & True’s founder, Michael Wiper. The illustrious Bristol brewery has recently celebrated ten years of making some of the city's best craft beer, which has helped contribute to Bristol's rapidly evolving food and drink sector.
It's best known for beers such as Kaleidoscope Pale Ale, In The Pines Amber Ale and Milk Shake Milk Stout, available on draught or packaged in a sleek, minimalistic, white can at its new state-of-the-art headquarters. Last June, Wiper & True opened the huge facility in Old Market, enabling the business to more than double its brewing capacity - with the potential for new venues in the pipeline.
Founded in 2012, Michael started as a "home brewer who got carried away", becoming fascinated with the process and driven by the big, bold, hoppy flavours coming out of the US beer market at the time. With the help of some people already in the industry, he was able to borrow production kits in the evenings and weekends, allowing him to sell small batches of his own beer at market stalls.
