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.

#sxshare Super clean and well made. Strawberry laces. Cedar. Oak. Would work brilliantly with cheese and a proper fire beer. Reminds me of Thomas Hardy. Ace.

Bottle from Booths Supermarket, Media City. Very active out of the bottle, providing a bubbly head to a deeper golden ale, which is fuller-bodied hoppy ale through its strength. This isn't overbearing.

Cask, half pint at Three Pigeons. Creamy fawn-coloured head, spotty lacing, copper coloured body with a rustic shade. Indeed, good looking! Dark doughy nose, mid-sweet. Taste of toffee, bread. and caramel malts. Mid-dry malt driven end. Medium to thin bodied. Quite pleasing. (Halifax 03.07.2018).
