About
"Delicious", "glorious" and "stunning" are just a few of the words used by recent customers to describe our ales. We pride ourselves on creating a delightful product that people really want to savour; whether it is a pint in your local or a bottle consumed at home. We know that taste and quality are key to the enjoyment and that is why we never create beers that we wouldn't actually want to drink ourselves.

We are really proud that we do this by sourcing the majority of our ingredients from within the UK. Nothing is more local than the main ingredient: water which comes from our own spring at the Brewery. Locally sourced is both key to our brand story and it also means we can create very unique, premium tasting beers.

In terms of our production ethos - our team are dedicated to the business vision of "redefining english ales". It does mean that the Wincle Beer brand is more traditional than some in its styles; but that does not mean we don't like a bit of experimentation! We are fascinated by the use of new techniques to make each ingredient sing ... and a tweak here and there can make a phenomenal difference to the end product. We are also to be very proud to gypsy brew for a number of other brands - some of which are extremely modern in their presentation and taste; and very different to Wincle Beer. This passion for all things beer and knowledge of the process ensures we have the experience and the skill set to deliver any style of beer, ale or lager that meets the criteria and taste credentials required.

Each and every brew follows rigorous process with every beer leaving our brewery 'Character assured'. Over the last 12 years this means that we have created more than 5 million pints with that same zeal for quality on each and every one.
