Description
The Wimbledon Brewery was started by William Cook in 1832. Following a number of changes of ownership, the brewery was taken over by William Quartermaine in 1880. It was Quartermaine who built the five-storey tower brewery, the highest building in Wimbledon at the time.
A fire started at the brewery on January 2nd 1889 and although the interior of the building was badly damaged and all the brewing equipment and machinery destroyed, the main structure of the building was left intact.
Today’s Wimbledon Brewery can be characterised in very similar terms to the one described above. Our logo incorporates the image of the tower, the phoenix and barley and hops, representing our heritage and our focus on using only the best ingredients. We are custodians of the heritage and traditions of beer brewing, whilst also inspiring the new generation of beer drinkers and brewers.

Cask pint at the Prospect of Whitby. Finally made it ot this pub and chose this light 3.7% ale. Not really much to write home about in the aroma or taste. Slight grass and fruity summer like ale. Golden colour. Quite grasping on the palate. Meh.

Cask @ Salisbury, Covent Garden. Pours clear golden amber, small white head. Aroma bears some light floral citrus. Palate is thin, a touch watery, gentle pale malt sweetness, distant citrus, not a lot else really. Good for a half while admiring this big old Victorian pub.

Can at home from M&S. A light hazed deep orange coloured pour with a loose off white head. Some sludge at the bottom of the can. Aroma is semi sweet, juicy orange, mandarin, some alcohol, light toffee. Flavour is composed of semi sweet base malts, dusty grains, straw, dried orange, chalk. Palate is dry and prickly, spritzy carbonation. Little dusty. Underwhelming.
