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.

Tap@Brixton Brewery, London (29062019) - hazy golden pour with a white head. Light subdued citrus fruity accents probably as served very cold (which is a mixed blessing in this 33c heat) pale malty backing, a little over carbed, light body, light hoppy close. --- Beer merged from original tick of Spark! on 26 Mar 2025 at 07:37 - Score: 6.

Keg at the Three Compasses, Farringdon, London. Lightly hazed amber-gold with a thin white head and a light fizz. Tropical fruit taste - particularly peach, with mango notes. Citrus cones through. Sweetish but just enough bitterness to balance. Crisp and clean and very refreshing on a stupidly hot day. Decent brew I thought.
