Small batch independent brewery located at The George Pub in Tunbridge Wells.

Fonthill Brewing Co. is the realisation of a dream for the team behind Tunbridge Wells pubs The George, The Sussex Arms, The Ragged Trousers; and The Forum – Music and Arts Venue.

The George was taken on in 2016 in large part because of its outbuilding – the Stable Block from the pub’s days as a coaching inn.

It seemed to offer the perfect setting for our ambition to brew our own beer, and supply our pubs ourselves.

Having spent the previous five years experimenting with recipes on a tiny nano plant in the cellar of the pub, in 2021 we installed a two-and-a-half barrel plant into the Stables. Capable of brewing ten firkins (or 720 pints) at a time.

We currently brew once a week, choosing from a list of eight different real ale varieties.
