Description
Brewery founded by Gary and Diane Oldershaw but under new ownership since 2010. Renamed to their current name in early 2020.
At Zest brewery we make an excellent range of beers brimming with quality, character and passion all infused with a touch of Planet Rock!
Zest Brewery has been borne from merging centuries’ old brewing techniques with progressive thinking to deliver a range of both traditional and innovative beers of outstanding quality in cask, bottle and canned format.
The lessons learnt from our Oldershaw Brewery roots are being used to continue to look after our local customers, to start our mobile bar business offering both static pop up bars of various sizes and also a converted horsebox bar – Bar Zest – and to broaden our bespoke bottling capability.
Beers are available to trade through direct delivery and wholesale distribution. Casks of beer are available for parties, weddings, corporate events and all celebrations.

Cask at Merton Summer Beer Festival 06-07-07 . Warm golden colour with white head, quite fruity and sweet bitterness ok, but overall felt a bit disappointed by this beer, never really did much for me A6 A3 F5 P3 Ov11 2.8 Had this again at The Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks 20-07-09 Pours gold with a tiny white head. The aroma is slightly boozy and malty. Taste is quite strong, its malty, alcohol is there and its also a little dry at the end, much better beer than I recall so re-rated. A6 A3 F7 P3 Ov14 3.3
