Description
Started brewing in 1995 by two former employees of Smiles Brewery using the same plant as Henstridge Brewery.
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

Gem (Bottle) from Bath Ales

4.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 4 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
Bottled 500ml. -from www.beershop.hr Clear amber coloured, minimal white to off-white head, bready nose. Sweetish malty, caramel, bready and faint fruity with short finish. Pretty boring one without any real British beer character; more like some cheaper East European brew. Pitty.
