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 drink-in at Sourced Market St. Pancras. Hazy golden coloured body. Fair, pearl white head, spotty lacing. Smell of citrus mingled with mid-sweet malts. Lemony hoppy flavours added by dried fruits and mild brown malts. Nice fruit bitterness to the finish, mid-dry. Medium bodied. Nice and refreshing (London 14.07.2014).

Lightly hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and slightly soft. Mild fine carbonation. Light caramel malts, little dry cream. Dried fruits and mild twangy bitterness. Little ripe orange in the dry finish. Not bad, bit flabby.

From London Beer Market and drunk at home. Black beer lasting tight beige head. Big rich proper coffee aroma. Like really good coffee. It’s lovely. I mean the coffee is perfectly integrated, base beer is fine, but it’s the coffee flavour that is out of this world. Bit under carbonated, but the flavour is outstanding. Rich smooth proper coffee beans. Excellent.

Bottle sample at a tasting a at Beer Market Jaffa. Thanks Tom C. Cloudy yellow-golden. Lovely fruity hops aroma with a bit of yeast. Dry flavor with lots of "green" and fruity hops and nice refreshing bitterness. Rather light-bodied. Really good and extremely refreshing.
