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.

At a tasting, small bubbly head, quite clear deepish gold color, bready woody aroma with a spicy hint, onion woody flavor with some maltiness behind. Nice and simple, easy to drink.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at Clapton Craft. Pours slightly hazy gold with a creamy, white head. Pleasant pithy aroma, grapefruit peel, dried pale malts, hay. Light sweet flavour with some drying flinty minerality, lemon peel, more pithy grapefruit, grassy accents. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Dry finish, pithy, lightly bitter. Overall, enjoyable super low ABV gear.

Lots of fun/funk here, wine barrel aging as great complexity to the Brett fruitiness

Bottle at home from Offie & Toffee. This was drunk one day before its BBD, so that might explain some of my comments. A fizzy pour that quickly subsided to a rather flat beer with little to no carbonation. The aroma was all hops and that was taken forward into the taste which was hops, hops, hops! This hop assault was harsh and I laboured to finish the beer because of its single dimension. The mouthfeel was flat and I could be pushed into saying slightly stale. Not a good one for me.
