Description
Brixton Brewery is one of London’s established craft breweries, making beer in the heart of one of London’s most colourful and famous neighbourhoods. We were founded in 2013 by two local couples, Jez and Libby and Mike and Xochitl, but our shared passion for beer started years before that, when we met in the old Hive Bar (now Craft Beer Co. Brixton), and bonded over newborn babies, and a dream of opening a brewery. We reckoned that every great neighbourhood deserves a great brewery, and we wanted to bring one to Brixton.
In 2017 Brixton Brewery announced the biggest news in its short history. That it had partnered with Heineken UK in a deal that would enable the business to open a second site in Brixton, boost capacity nearly tenfold from its 3,000hl site to up to 30,000hl, and significantly grow its team as a result.
As per 2021, Brixton is 100% owned by Heineken.
Brixton now only carry out small-scale brewing. Production brewing moved to Beavertown in September 2024.

Keg at taproom in Brixton! Sweet hopped aroma. It's tasty, delivering west coast taste but rather sweet. Finish is a little sherbety / quick.

Clean hold with a full white head. Aroma of fruit hop. Flavour starts sharp hop, mellows into a tart citrus, juicy tropical base.

(Can, 0.33l, thanks Ruth and Chris, 20250913)The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had citrus fruits, honey and pine. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were citrus fruits, pine, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity and bitter. Nice hoppy brew.

Festival pint draft at the Shipwrights Arms pub in London, England. It is a clear gold color with a small white head and great retention. Faint lager aroma. The color is more of a yellow color than a gold color. Classic pilsner lager flavor profile. Clean and crisp with a little light bitter bite at the finish. Great for summer. It's clean and smooth. Very easy to drink and again perfect for a warm day like today. The best beer I've had here in London so far.

Hazy gold with a bubbly white head and a grassy, fruity nose. A little fizzy with grassy malt, a little hop kick, some tropical fruit, citrus bitterness and a dry finish.
