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.

Fra fat på Haringay Arms i Crouch End: klar lys gylden md fint skum som varer. Citrus, urter og hint av krydder. Mild bitterhet. Frisk og lettdrikkelig men også ganske forglemmelig.

Judgement might be a bit clouded by being charged 7.20 for a pint. Slightly hazy golden pour with a lasting white head. Aromas of malt, grass, some citrus. Taste was citrus, herbs and hops.

On tap at Craft Beer Oasis, Crewe. Pours a hazy golden amber with minimal off-white head and good lacing. There’s some floral hops in the aroma, and these are joined in the mouth by more traditional hoppiness that makes it quite bitter. After a while autumn fruits come through as well with traces of apples, ginger and even some pine. Finish is slightly dry. This is decent – it’s got a bit of bite to it.
