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.

33cl can. Poured a slightly hazy straw colour with a huge super fizzy white head and lots of bubbles. The can almost exploded! The aroma is malt, grassy lemon citrus hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet with a crisp, watery, light mineral, metallic fuity light dry spice, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with very lively carbonation. Light and drinkable but way over-carbonated.

Bottle at home over Sunday dinner. A lovely dark colour in the glass with a nice head. A strong and exceptionally well balanced flavour of hops that I can best describe as a deep sweetness alongside a warming bitterness. This resulted in an velvety mouthfeel that was enhanced by the warmth of the alcohol. I would categorise this as an English DIPA, but what do I know. This was a superb beer and complemented the food in the same way as a very good wine.
