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.

Perfectly fine, but disappointing. Sweet and malty, unexciting for the alcohol content

Bottle shared in Hackney - cheers to Fergus. Pours clear gold with a small, creamy, white head. The nose has some peach, melon, lemon. Light sweet flavour with some doughy bread, light acidity, lemon juice, hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Clean finish, more lemon, lime, a little tartness. Fun stuff.

Bottle thanks to Fergus. It pours clearish with a small white head. The aroma is sweet aniseed upfront, liquorice, fennel, hay, herbal, coriander and musty funk. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, earthy, herbal, light lactic vibes, aniseed, lemon sherbet, Granny Smith apple and hay with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Unusual, but not bad.
