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.

Bottle at home, 22/07/17. Hazed golden orange with a decent off white head. Nose is citric sherberts, tangerine, toasted grains, citric tinged straw. Taste comprises bitter orange, grassy notes, melon, light mineral chase, toasted bread. Medium body, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with mellow hop bitterness. A touch thin but not a bad drop for the ABV ... refreshing.

Bottle gift from daniele (thank you!). Oro vivo, limpida, schiuma abbondante e persistente. Al naso ossidazione, metallico, malto, nota erbacea. In bocca è un maltone colossale, ai limiti dell’imbevibile. Corpo medio, carbonazione soft. Vecchia.

Bottle, thanks daniele. Ancient golden clear color, medium creamy cap. Nose: something wrong, perhaps too old. Mouth: no, absolutely unpleasant.
