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. Hazy golden body with a medium white head. Lively carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma of lime, grapefruit and biscuit. Flavour of orange, lychee and tonic water. Thin body with a watery, slightly oily mouthfeel. Fizzy. Crisp and very drinkable.

Bottle sourced from the London Beer Lab - London. Pours unclear gold with a frothy, pure white head. There are some citrusy hops in the aroma, hints of grain husk, rind, faint plastic, biscuit. Light-medium sweet flavor with crackery pale malts, white bread, lemon peel, mild flinty minerals, pine needles. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with relaxed bready pale malts, lemon and tangerine, light bitter pine needles, hay, biscuits. Pretty tasty and easygoing. One of Brixton’s better efforts.

Cask at Craft 100 2014 - Craft Beer Co Clapham, London. Pours amber-ruby with a frothy white head. The character has dried berries, bread, leafy bitterness, berry skins. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Finishes with more leafy hops, earth, faint plastic, bread and berries. Meh.

Bottle from Sourced Market St Pancras and drunk at home. Hazy gold amber colour lasting ivory head. Good hoppy beer. With some orange and tangerine fruit. Nice sweetish malty apa. Some creamy malt. Yes maybe just a bit too malty. But the hop fruit flavour is rather good.
