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.

Cask at Craft 100 - Craft Beer Co. Clapham, London. Pours clear gold with a frothy, white head. Good aroma, with rich melon, tangerine, pine. Light sweet flavour with moderate bitter grass and pine, some lightly toasted pale bread. Light in body with average carbonation. Finishes with slight resin, more melon and tangerine, light pine. Nice beer.

Slightly hazy golden color, medium-sized white head, some lace. Grass, citrus fruityness and some farmhouse in the nose. Light-bodied. Citrus, earthy hops, apricot. Pale malty. A bit grapefruity-acidic aftertaste. Dryish, light. Aroma was not welcoming.

Hazy orange color, medium-sized white head. Citrus, grass, some riped fruits, kind of uncleanish notes. Light to medium-bodied. Citrus, riped peach, orange peels and grapefruit. Also in the flavor is some kind of unclean yeasty notes. Otherwise has potential.
