The Brewing Brothers Hop Over to The Courtyard
The Brewing Brothers at Imperial (119 Queens Road) are well known throughout the town for their freshly made pizzas and of course their incredible range of beers, most of which are made by their own fair hands. Despite the whole host of challenges that the pandemic has created for the entire hospitality industry, these chaps seem to be going from strength to strength. Their latest venture is brand spanking new premises in The Courtyard Hastings on the seafront. What can we expect from the Brewing Brothers this time? Jenni Meredith spoke to them to find out.

There will be an extensive beer menu to get excited about – a whopping 15 taps plus a dedicated takeaway fridge. We can expect to see some fan favourites (who doesn’t love a Belushi on a sunny evening?) plus some exciting new brews and expressions to explore, including an Oyster stout set to be launched at the grand opening on 21st June.
Oysters and Beer?
Brewing Brothers pizzas have become a very popular staple, but now the Brothers are branching out. The new venue will boast an oyster bar providing us with classic oyster platters plus delicious local fish and charcuterie boards. Beer and oysters sound like a somewhat bizarre combination to those of us who haven’t sampled the pairing before, but, perhaps surprisingly, it is a combination that has been tried and tested and is loved by many. Certain beers will complement the different types of oysters in the way different wines match with different foods. For example, malty and hoppy beers will enhance savoury notes in the oyster whereas lager has been noted to highlight delicious brininess. But don’t take my word for it, you’ll have to try it yourself to find your favourite combo.
A New Direction
I asked Ned of the Brewing Brothers what has driven them to make the leap to opening a new premise and what was coming next? He told me: “We got offered an opportunity to go down into The Courtyard and work with Rich and Mark at the Source Park along with a lot of other great businesses. It’s one of those times where you have to go for it. It has been a stretch but we are very grateful to have been offered this opportunity. We’ve got so much on our plate at the moment, we will just be focusing on opening. But hopefully, as soon as everything settles down mid-summer, we’ll have a few more things on the go!”
So, for delicious food, exceptional beer and a funky atmosphere get yourselves down to Brewing Brothers at The Courtyard (@brewing
