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.

The taste is bitter, wood, resin, pepper, some alcohol, toffee, light astringency, pine, varnish, leather, lemon rind, orange, good hit of grapefruit and leather with a rather dry finish. Medium+ body and fine carbonation. Pretty punchy stuff and thankfully not too sweet. Works rather well though.

Bottle: Golden, hazy, quite stable loose White head; pretty distinctive piney nose accompanied by grapefruity traces, a small amount is still detectable, faint traces of vegetables as well; almost solid bitter and still a bit sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; lingering piney and pale-malty finish. Pretty good...
