Microbrewery

Associated with 10 Venues
Established in 1978
You see, at that time, no one was risking it all starting a brewery, making simple, premium, easy-drinking ale. To do so was an act of defiance. Or madness. But, 42 years and a lot of hard graft later, by staying true to our beliefs and Bristolian roots, it looks like owning a resolutely maverick brewing company isn’t such a crazy idea after all. By going against the grain, to work intimately with it, we made our own statement with every pint. And what was true then is just as important today.
Butcombe now produces over 250,000 pints a week from our brewery in Wrington. As times and tastes change, so does our range of beers. Alongside Original, Gold and Rare Breed, you’ll find two craft lagers, Bohemia and Underfall, and two IPAs, Goram and Stateside, plus a range of exciting seasonal and small batch specials.

Half-pint, cask, shared with Finn at Old Joint Stock. Clear golden body, spotty lacing from a film-type layer. Moderate lemony hops on the nose. Lemon and peaches to the taste character, cereal malty support. Mat-fruity finish. Pretty fair. (Birmingham 13.02.2023).

[33cl bottle from Lidl, Crowthorne.] A bright golden amber pour with a loose white head; aroma of bitter herbs; caramel malt body with a touch of honey adding sweetness; and some pithy citrus and bitter herbs to finish. Not bad, but not stateside.
