Description
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.

5/9/2019. Cask at the 33rd Chappel Beer Festival. Pours dark brown with a small bubbly beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, nut, toffee, biscuit and mild chilli. Medium sweetness and moderate roasted bitterness with warming chilli developing. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Some drying to finish, chilli works pretty well though creates a little heartburn. Pretty good.
