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.

330ml bottle; BBE Feb 19. Poured into a UK pint sleeve at home on 30th June 18. Golden body, white head. Floral and spicy nose in the hop forward aroma. The taste is also hoppy with a good solid bitterness throughout, pleasant hidden malty base plays it's part too.

330ml can: BBE Aug 18. Drank in my back garden on 24th June 18 during a random tasting session with myself (after England beat Panama 6-1). Obtained from Booth's Supermarket in Knutsford. Slight haze to the golden pour, white crown on top. Tropical fruit aroma, a real mixed bowl of ripe citrus stuff, taste also carries a citrus bite alongside a decent malt profile, nice.

Cask handpull at The County Hotel JDW Ashford. This is an odd beer. I've been drinking a pint for the past 10 minutes. It's almost an old style English ipa. Some sweetish malt. Perhaps too sweet. Some pepper English hops. Fine. Nothing to write home about but fine
