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.

Handpull cask at the Cock Tavern, Hackney. Golden brown and clear with a ring of white head. Light woody aroma with some caramel notes. Sweet taste with caramel and cola nut, deftly turning to a bitter finish. Very light body, zero carbonation. Has the feel of a second running and makes a good basic old-fashioned mild.
