Welcome to Battledown Brewing Co. a Cotswold based, family run brewery making world class craft beer, lager and ale.

Take a look below and get to know both our Cotswold and Heritage range.
Closed at the end of 2023 when founder Roland Elliot-Berry retired after 18 years of running the brewery. His children, who run Sibling Gin Distillery sought a new owner but none was found.

50cl bottle from Tesco, Henley. A dark amber por with a attracive beige head rapidly falling back to a thin film; earthy malt aroma; lively in the mouth with a intense fruity malt flavour, that then becomes drier and nutty; with some gentle hops to finish. Surprising good.

500ml Clear bottle: best before Apr 2013, poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard on Sunday 10 June 2012. Nice brown, deep amber coloured body: on top an off-white head sat on top. Malty, nutty aroma and taste with a spritzy, well carbonated bodyfeel a slight hop bitterness appears towards the end of each sip, but this is a malt first brew, the hops important but secondary in prominence.
