Unfortunately the brewery is no longer open to the public.

Handsome Brewery started at Bowston Bridge June 2016 in redundant buildings which were originally the Blacksmith's shop for James Cropper's paper mills.

Their head brewer Marcin Serwatka has developed a range of beers from Pale Ale, Handsome Top Knot through to Dark Stout, Handsome Blacksmith (named after the former buildings use).

In the range of regular beers is an IPA, Handsome Hound, where donations go to Wainwrights animal rescue and a truly crafted lager, Handsome FKR (brewed by the Flowing Kent River).
