Milson Sauvin – Sureshot Brewing

Crunchy. Juicy. New Zealand Nice.

Beer Overview

Milson Sauvin is Sureshot Brewing’s New Zealand twist on their beloved hazy pale, released as part of the wonderfully chaotic celebrations of Milson Day.

This 5.2% Pale Ale takes the soft, juicy foundation of classic Milson and supercharges it with heaps of Nelson Sauvin, layered alongside familiar favourites Mosaic and Citra. The result is a bright, hazy pale bursting with crunchy white grape, gooseberry and citrus character, all wrapped up in that signature smooth Milson drinkability.

It’s like Milson went backpacking around New Zealand and came back significantly more aromatic.

Flavour Profile

Taste: White grape, gooseberry and citrus layered with soft tropical fruit and subtle sweetness.
Mouthfeel: Smooth, hazy and easy drinking.
Finish: Crisp, juicy and gently balanced with refreshing hop character.

Aroma

Bright aromas of white grape, lime citrus and tropical fruit leap from the glass, backed by soft haze and juicy hop saturation.

Brewing Process & Uniqueness

Milson Sauvin starts with the familiar soft malt base and hazy profile of the original Milson before introducing a heavy dose of Nelson Sauvin hops.

Known for its unmistakable white grape and gooseberry character, Nelson Sauvin brings a vibrant New Zealand edge that works beautifully alongside the tropical fruit punch of Mosaic and Citra. The result is a pale ale that feels both fresh and familiar—soft, juicy and packed with expressive hop aroma.

Part of the brewery’s playful Milson Day series, this beer proves there are apparently endless ways to improve a dog named Milson.

Serving & Food Pairing

Serve at: 6–8°C in a tulip or nonic pint.

Perfect with:

• Fish tacos
• Fried chicken
• Salty snacks

• Quietly staring through the neighbour’s window

High quality & small batch. Straight from the beating heart of Manchester.

Founded in 2020 by James Campbell and Michael Forde, with the first beers released in 2022, Sureshot Brewing quickly became a standout on Manchester’s craft beer scene. James Campbell, one of the UK’s most influential brewers, helped set the creative direction before moving on, leaving behind a legacy of hop-forward brewing that continues to shape Sureshot’s identity.

Today, the brewery is best known for its hazy pales, juicy IPAs, and modern lagers—styles that showcase bold hop character, soft mouthfeel, and vibrant tropical and citrus notes. With a reputation for high-quality releases and striking can art, Sureshot has established itself as one of Manchester’s most exciting independent breweries, building on its founders’ vision while pushing forward with its own creative momentum.
