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.

[33cl can from M&S, Camberley.] A hazy pale amber pour with a fast fading white head; sweet tropical fruit aroma; then very dry in the mouth with some stone fruits and a light biscuity body; and a dry finish. Subtle and refreshing.

Keg @ Woodman, Highgate. Blonde coloured, it’s a citrus pale ale that’s has a nice and crisp enough hoppy-fruitiness, albeit slightly dirty in design.

Can. Golden colour, small head. Aroma is very restrained, some hops and malt. Light body. Slightly malty, medium hoppy flavour and low bitterness. Good for the abv, drinkable, but uneventful.

30/IV/20 - 33cl can from Queens of Hop, shared @ home, BB: 13/XI/20, canned: 13/IV/20 (2020-383)

Clear blond to orange beer, small creamy off-white head, unstable, falls down quickly. Aroma: caramel malts, citrus notes, orange peel, tropical fruits. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very fruity, bit juicy, citrus, grapefruit, tangerines, some marzipan, lots and lots of (candied) orange peel, tropical fruits. Aftertaste: more of that orange peel, nice bitterness, malty finish. Very decent beer, good crossover between classic ipa and modern ipa!
