Description
Dolphin Brewery is a small batch brewery operating in a garage, just outside Reading. We might be limited in size, but we’re certainly not limited in our passion for making top-quality craft beers. We make seasonal and one-off releases in a range of different styles, from sours, to stouts, and most things in between. Being small allows us ultimate control. We are hands-on throughout each step of the brewing process; from designing the recipe to bottling each beer, every batch is carefully crafted with passion and care.
