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.

Draft at Craft 100 April 2015 - London. Pours hazy pale yellow with a thick, foamy white head. The nose holds mild plastic, smoke and chlorine; seem to be some definite phenolic off-notes here. Light sweet flavor with some pleasant fruity notes, pale bread, hay - maybe some mango if you really try to look for it. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Reasonably clean to finish with thankfully fewer phenols, some bitter hay, pale bread, lemon rind, peach. A little rough at the edges. Can’t say this experiment was a complete success.

Craft #100 fest at Clapham. Cask. Light haze on this pale gold beer, tidy white head. Airy palate. Floralness, modestly bitter. Some apple. Mango? Not so much.
