Description
Wight Knuckle Brewery was founded in 2021, by brothers (Fergus & Edward) and dad (George Bristow), and is based out of the Pilot Boat in Bembridge.
We hope to bring an end to the bland European lagers that are ever-present in our Island pubs and restaurants and lead the way in bringing craft, modern beers to the Isle of Wight with the Island's first microbrewery. Using only the highest quality natural British ingredients, and brewing in a sustainable way, we want to bring our passion for the Island into every beer we brew. We are proud to say that all of our natural beers are unfined, unfiltered, unpasteurised and 100% vegan.
