Description
Welcome to Battledown Brewing Co. a Cotswold based, family run brewery making world class craft beer, lager and ale. We have been brewing for 15 years, but in 2020 had a brand new brew kit installed which has allowed us to create an amazing new selection of beers. 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.

[Gravity cask at Chippenham Beer Festival 2009] Sticky mouthfeel, dusty & wheaty aroma, some grapefruit and an unpleasantly bitter finish. Pretty poor.

500ml bottle from Waitrose, Stroud. Deep gold in colour with a short-lived white head and slight carbonation. Aroma of oranges and red fruit with some refreshing floral hops. Easy drinking with tonnes of summer fruits, some light biscuit malt backbone and a great bitter finish. Very good.

[i] [b] Cask, gravity at the Kings Arms Beer Festival, Kidlington, Oxon 28-03-08 [/i] [/b] Pours dark brown with a very small white head. There is a god rush of bitterness that sits in a layer across the roof of my mouth, very roasty a bit rough around the edges at times but very likeable, finishes fruity and slightly drying. I quite liked this.

Cask handpull at Thomas Rigby’s, Liverpool. Pale chestnut colour with lasting beige head. Lovely malty beer with great depth. Dry malt. Some hop on end. Delivers a crisp finish. Good lacing down the glass shows the condition. Well put together beer.
