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.

Negra, muy abundante espuma cremosa. Aroma extraño, hay café pero también cierto olor a caucho. En boca mejora mucho, ahora claro sabor a café en un paso muy fácil con cuerpo ligero y escaso gas. Seca y amarga. Agradable.

Bottle split at LKS, Can’t remember where I picked this oop - who gives a shit ... Wimpy vs Beer killed my love for Mayorships anyway, 03/08/15. Extremely dark mahogany brown with a decent tan covering. Nose carries a good coffee blast, dark malt, chocolate, toffee. Taste comprises cold coffee, less flavour than the nose alluded to, dark malt, cocoa powder, light spice. Thinnish mouthfeel, on the watery side. So so, looked and smelt good but then fell away badly at the business end.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Colin. Pours deep brown with a creamy tan head. The nose has old coffee, slight roast, burnt toast. Light sweet flavor with bitter coffee grounds, faint cocoa, earth, leaves. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. A little watery on the finish, some further coffee grounds, earthy bitterness. Pretty basic.
