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

500ml bottle. Clear golden colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Cautious hoppy aroma has a touch of lemon, a touch of straw, biscuity malt basis, a very cautious floral touch. Taste is slightly bitter hoppy, a cautious touch of lemon and lemon zest. Very simple, light and monotonous. Not more than classic structural work (Marris Otter and Goldings), no embodiment. Sessionable, maybe appropriate for a Tropical night in Manaus while playing Italy.

Egenimportert flaske delt med Ovesen: fint beige skum som lander raskt . Klar, kobberfarge. Lett aroma, lett munnfylde - glir ubesværet over drøvelen, og lett bitterhet i ettersmaken. Myk og avrundet. Grei nok, men ingen personlighet.
