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.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up at Clapton Craft. Pours perfectly clear gold with a creamy white head. Quite clean and dialled in, with nice restrained citrus pith hop character, quick pale malts, soft rindy bitterness. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Balanced finish, enjoyable if a bit tame, more mellow citrus fruit vibes. It drinks really easily, I will certainly give it that.

Black beer, off-white head.Lightly spiced malty aroma. Flavour is malty chocolate, a little spice again. Not a lot else to it but it's smooth and tasty.

Fresh citrus brightness, largely up front. Canned on Tuesday, so as fresh as it's going to get.

Nice rye spice, easy drinking. Nothing special but a classic example of the style

Enjoying all of these specials, there's a sweetness at the end, salinity and mild sour mango up front

This is a stunner. Great grain bill, nicely malted. Really easy to drink and could do it all day.
