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.

330ml bottle @ Blind Tiger, Shrewsbury. Pours hazy gold with large white head. Aroma is lightly sweet malt. Taste is largely grainy malts with minimal hop action coming through. Faint glimpses of citrus fruits, but not too flavoursome. Not really an APA.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines; dark copper pour with a creamy light tan head, aroma has caramel and some pine action, taste has sweet malts, some toffee, a hint of pine, some big IBUs knocking about, grapefruit, tangerine, quite sweet, make a big beer put it in a big bottle mentality, not everybody has friends, some people drink alone AA, this has cancelled out 3 other scoops, quite enjoyable. --- Beer merged from original tick of Megawatt Imperial IPA on 31 Jan 2016 at 18:07 - Score: 7.
