Description
Residing in our 17th century barn has been much like our ethos on sustainability, determined to bring our brewery to life co-existing with the land and infrastructure already in place, to evolve as if we had always been here.

Good Things has created the most sustainable brewery we have seen, creating our own power, pulling our own water from beneath the ground outside the brewery doors. Turning spent brewers grain in to beautiful flour, delivering beer in our electric van & very soon treating all our own waste on site.

Until...

Good Things Brewing Co. of Tunbridge Wells changed name and turned to a roaming brewery in the summer of 2021, when tragedy struck and their brewery was destroyed in a lightning storm.
