Description

We brew at Gun Hill, on a beautiful 140 acre organic mixed farm in the Sussex Weald. The farm has a history of hop growing and some survive to this day in the hedgerows. It’s a lovely place to be and a lovely place to brew.

We spent a year refitting the barn, and installing all the equipment ourselves, before selling our first pint in January 2015. In making our beer we aim to tread lightly on our surroundings. We generate much of our own power from a 15kw solar array; heating from a wood powered boiler and our spent grains keep the local livestock happy.

All the water used for brewing comes from our own spring source deep below the organically farmed land. The water is microfiltered and UV treated to ensure its purity without the need for chemicals. It’s delicious and great for brewing.

Five years on from launch, plenty of awards and some 2 million pints later, by 2020 we were a team of 9 and when we started moving fermenters outside, it was obvious that to keep moving forward, we were going to need a bigger boat. We couldn’t expand in our current building, and really didn’t want to move away from the spring water and the farm. Both of which are part of our DNA. So we looked into the idea of actually building Brewery 2.0 from scratch here.

In August 2020 we were granted planning permission and began building in September. All being well, we hope to move in December 2021.

Can from somewhere. Cheers Simey. Interesting subtle Scandi liquorice smell. Not very often I go wow when I have a first sip. Extremely easy going and nice malty bitterness to finish. Top quality beer - could drink many.

Cask at the Hackney Tap - Hackney Central. Pours clear copper-gold with a small, creamy off-white head. Lightly sweet with restrained smoked malt, some whole grain bread, light leafy bitterness, honeyed ham. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation; fair condition. Finishes with meaty and lightly smoked malts, toffee accents. Enjoyable beer.
