About
Windsor and Eton are already famous for many things. The castle, college, river, racecourse and of course the Royal connections. In 2010 the four of us wanted to add beer to the list. In fact we had a wild idea to make beer the top attraction. So we brought brewing back to the heart of Windsor.
Nearly 10 years on we remain a ‘beer led’ brewery making outstanding beers of every single style and character. We offer a warm welcome to everyone from beer newcomer to expert, locals to visitors, the smallest club to the biggest pub and the local shop to the top supermarket.
We are proud to be part of the revolution in beer making throughout the world. As founder members of the London Brewers Alliance, we have helped grow the number of the Capital’s breweries from 11 in 2010 to over 90 today. Together we are bringing great choice and quality to London drinkers.

Hand-pulled third of a pint on 18th October 2024, in the Cordwainer. Amber/mid-ruby brown, beige head of weak bubbles. Strange one, like a really weak Cadbury's Fruit and Nut bar, but not as sweet or tasty.

Cask at Wheatsheaf, Stoke on Trent. Pours a dark ruby with a small cream head. Only a weak slightly fruity and malty aroma. In the mouth it is quite sweet with malts prominent but also some underlying hoppy bitterness. Flavour has apples and hints of cloves to start and traces of plums and blackberries later. Finish is slightly dry. This is eminently drinkable, but not a brown ale – more of a bitter I would say.

On cask at the SO. Appearance - deep amber to brown, some autumnal red in there. Thin beige head. Nose - caramel, toffee and orange shred. Taste - chewy toffee and orange again. Palate - close to medium bodied, tangy and bittersweet middle and finish. Overall - liked this one. Not in any way a brown ale. Hmm.!

Taste comprises citric tinged straw, grass, melon, orange peel. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with mellow light juicy hop bitterness. Passable pale .. rather stuck in 3rd gear.
