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.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at M&S. Pours clear orange-gold with a foamy, white head. Nice, with rounded bready malts, moderate sweetness, melon, oranges, a suggestion of marmalade. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Hints of resin in the finish, more citrusy hops, nips of alcohol warmth. Decent.

Cask @ Salisbury, near Leicester Square, London. Golden with a very small head. Hoppy and slightly floral, it also has a slightly sticky but easy enough drinking texture.

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.
