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.

A bottle sitting on the grass in the sunshine at Wrest Park St George’s Day festivities while my girls fought running battles with their plastic swords. This was a superb English bitter, with gentle bitter hops, a nice biscuit malt, low carbonation, a slight fruity sweetness and a lovely mouth feel. Maybe it was the occasion, but it was one that a beer such as this is made for. Really, really nice.

Hardly a golden ale, more of a malty bitter.

Cask-conditioned at the Lord High Constable of England (JDW), Gloucester docks, July 2016. Deep gold in colour, with a slight, white, head. Easy drinking pale ale with a touch of stone fruits, sweetish lager malts and hint of leafy hops, ending in a moderately bitter finish. Ok.

Sampled @ GBBF day 1. Hazy murky orange brownish color, small white head. Smell and taste malts, herbs or spices, I guess gin, quite spicy sweetish as well. Not my thin at all. Meh at best.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity at the Nailsea and Backwell beer and cider festival, 16/7/2016. Golden in colour and with a slight, off-white, head. Dried fruits, ripe cereal malts, some caramel and a rapsing, boozy, finish. So so.
