Soldiers Ale House Partner – Vocation Brewery

 

“At Vocation, we brew bold and flavourful beer for the many. We believe beer should be an experience and there should be a beer for every occasion, whether celebrating a milestone, reminiscing with friends or the first cold sip after a long day. ​

We brew beers with breadth and depth, with interesting aromas and flavours that are worthy of comment and invite conversation. Beers of substance that are well crafted and, whatever their style, are distinctly Vocation Brewery.

From exemplary IPAs and indulgent stouts, to crisp, refreshing lagers and tangy sours, there is a bold and beautiful Vocation beer for everyone.​”
