Bath Ales
Commercial Brewery
in Bristol,
Bristol,
England 🏴
Owned by
St. Austell Brewery
Associated Venue: Graze Bar, Brewery & Chophouse (Bath Ales)
Established in 1995
Moved to Siston Lane, Bristol in the summer of 1999.
Having outgrown these premises a further relocation to their current site at Units 3-7 Caxton Industrial Estate, Crown Way, Warmley, Bristol was carried out during March 2004.
A 50 barrel brewplant is used. A small on-site brewery was installed at their new (2013) Graze pub in Bath and was used to brew Platform 3 beer (originally 5.7%, latterly 4.5%) and the occasional special.
The beers branded as Beerd were from a small-batch plant within the main brewery at Warmley.
Mid 2016 brewery bought out by St. Austell brewery, with the inevitable cessation of the Beerd brand and the brew plant in Bath.
Production of Bath Ales cask range has been reduced to just Gem, with the spare capacity used by St. Austell for overflow production of Tribute and other St. Austell beers.
Since late 2025 Bath Ales became just a brand of St. Austell

Hand-pulled pint in The Fighting Cocks, Oakengates, Shropshire on 11th November 2021. White crown on a clean golden body, looked good. Fruity with a citrus leaning, nice balance and an easy drinking ale.

Have drunk this on occasion before, but not rated it. Cask at Posada, Wolverhampton. Pours a dark amber with a small foamy white head and good lacing. Exudes a slightly sweet malty aroma. In the mouth it is quite sweet with flavour of malt load and dark fruits with underlying hints of caramel and vanilla. Finish is fairly sweet too. A nice solid traditional bitter – of the kind that is becoming all too rare.

Hand-pulled half-pint in The Shrewsbury Hotel (a Shrewsbury Wetherspoons) on 25th October 2021. Red hue to the deep amber body, off-white head that stayed around. Caramel esters and flavours rule this fairly sweet brew, light fruitiness from the hops.

Cask at Thomas Leaper, Derby. Pours a rich ruby with a small off-white head and good lacing. Malts and a hint of raisins in the nose. Immediate sensation in the motuh is of malt and spices, including ginger. Slightly sweet as well. Later on nuts and toffee come through with traces of dark fruits. Finish is sweet and fruity. This is quite nice.
