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.

Craft 100 at Craft Clapham. Cask. Light haze on this gold beer, thin pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has decent fine carbonation. Mild pale malts. Decent lemony hop, mild pine and skunk join the party. A little hop spice. Light semi dry finish. Clean and tasty.

Bottled 330ml (AbM)
Deep amber color, small mostly vanishing white head. Strong butterscotch diacetylic aroma, some tartish and glueish hoppy notes. Quite a mess. Medium-bodied. Diacetyl is not so evident in the flavor. Butterscotch, wood, grass. Lingering resiny bitterness. Something gone wrong here. (BB 11/07/2016)

The taste is bitter - sweet, straw, grass, apricot, peach skin, waxy citrus peel, earth and minerals. Medium body and fine carbonation. Crisp, fresh ad fruit. Drinks rather easy also.
