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.

Cask-conditioned, served by gravity at the Tewkesbury winter beers festival, 7/2/2014. Jet black with next to no head. Solid, dark chocolate, followed by a hint of dark fruit, plenty of roasted malts and a warming finish. Good.
