About
Co-founded in 1981 as Pitfield Brewery by Rob Jones (who went on to set up Dark Star brewery) and Martin Kemp operating from 8 Pitfield Street, N1 before moving to 4 Hoxton Square, N1 in 1986. Briefly relocated to Stourbridge following a merger with Premier Midland Ales, becoming Pitfield's Premier Brewing Co in 1990 but in 1991 the company went into liquidation.

Revived in 1996 as Pitfield's Brewery at 14 Pitfield Street, N1 before relocating outside of London to Great Horkesley, Essex in 2006 and then to Moreton, Ongar in 2007.

Martin, Pitfield's brewer/owner retired in 2012 to run a pub in Newmarket. Andy Skene bought the business and continued to brew Pitfield's beers alongside his own Dominion beers. This ceased in 2018.

Pigs Ear Christmas Ginger Beer from Pitfield's Brewery

Bottled. An unclear yellow beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of ginger and malt. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of ginger combined with medium notes of malt, leading to a bitter finish where the ginger note lingers.

Bottle shared at The Wedding. Pours brown with a small, off-white head. Mild roast in the nose. Light to medium sweet flavor, modest roast and sugar. Body is a bit light and the carbonation is fine. Mild warmth to finish, semi-dry, faintly bitter, some roastiness. Just OK.
