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.

330ml can. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a short-lived frothy white head. The aroma is malt, big zesty tropical citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, with a crisp, tutti frutti, sugary citrus, light woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

On tap at Brixton Brewery, one third pint on a sample tray. Clear golden body, dissipating white head, spotty lacing. Inviting tropical scent. Peachy flavours together with pineapple. Ends with decent fruity bitterness. Medium bodied. Soft in the mouth. Pleasing to a certain degree. (London 20.11.2021).

On tap at Brixton Brewery, one third pint on a sample tray. Bright golden body, filmy white layer, fair lacing. Rather mild aroma of noble hops and pale malts. Blended taste of mid-sweet malts, noble hops, and bread. Light malt fruity end, discreet bitterness to it. Clean on the swallow. Accepted, okay pilsener. (London 20.11.2021).
