Founded in 2014, Leighton Buzzard Brewing Company is the first commercial brewing company to brew beer in the great town of Leighton Buzzard for over a hundred years.

In September 2019, ownership of the brewery was transferred to Mark Debrick, who is continuing to brew the award-winning beer that put us on the map, while at the same time introducing new and exciting recipes.

In 2020, we launched our local home delivery service serving our customers in Leighton Buzzard and the surrounding area.

Cask at Bedford CAMRA Beer & Cider Festival 2024. Apparently a festival special. There was nothing special about it. Poured clear blonde with no head. Flat. Lifeless. Vague aromas of pale malts & grass. Light sweet with slightly more bitterness. Dry-ish on the palate. Towards medium body with no bloody carbonation. Poor condition.
