Our Beers

Hand crafted beer with all natural ingredients

Great Ale Since 1843

We believe that without raw materials of exceptional quality it is impossible to produce first-rate beers. This is why we go to great efforts to source the best malted barley from around the UK and spend the hop harvest every year picking out the finest grown hops for our Ales. We have a staple of distinctive regular beers and also introduce seasonal and special ales throughout the year.

Latest Beers

Tradition (ABV: 3.4%)

2023 marks the 180th birthday of our Brewery. And of course, we’ve brewed a beer to celebrate.

This is an easy drinking, deep red session beer with a warming fruit biscuity base rounded off with a hop aroma of mango and peach.

We’ve used RYE as a nod to the old and modern hops to celebrate the new. On to the next 180 years – cheers!

Malthouse Craft Lager (ABV: 4.2%)

Handmade, refreshing, characterful English lager brewed using local barley grown just around the corner from our brewery.

Unlike many lagers we like to slow ferment Malthouse for up to a month, creating a softer cleaner flavour with a satisfying fullness in the mouth. After this, rather than pasteurising and cooking the aromas, we gently triple micro filter the beer to lock in the thirst quenching flavour.

Voyager (ABV: 5%)

Voyager is a tribute to adventurous spirit.

Way back in the early 19th Century before John, founder and great by-many grandfather, had selected our picturesque site to realise his passion and build a brewery, he was a farmer by trade. Times were hard in British farming so he upped sticks and voyaged to the uninhabited plains of Canada to build a new farm and a new life. “You can tell Polly that we live like two old, long-bearded and grave old bachelors,” John writes home to his brother.

Love eventually brought him home and our beautiful brewhouse soon followed. We’ve used American hops as a nod to his time across the Atlantic, giving the pale ale a fruity kick.

Pioneer (ABV: 3.8%)

In 1860, while our founder John and his sons were building up our brewery in bonny England, two more of his sons took a more adventurous route into brewing. They sailed off to New Zealand to pioneer English brewing techniques and built breweries all over the country.

To mark our 175th anniversary, our head brewer visited New Zealand and has
created this New Zealand-style IPA in homage to great brewing Pioneers. We shipped the hops directly from New Zealand to create a perfect, Kiwi, well balanced, session IPA. Enjoy!

Kingsdown (ABV: 4.8%)

Kingsdown was first brewed as a relaunch of a special brew originally brewed to commemorate Swindon Town Football Club’s 1969 League Cup triumph.

It was so popular as a special we relaunched it as Kingsdown, and we have brewed it regularly since 1976.

The strongest of our regular beers, Kingsdown has a rich chestnut brown colour, a full-bodied malty nose and bold traditional flavour.

Bottled Beers

We also bottle some of our beers, which we first started way back in the 1930s. This requires a careful conditioning process in the brewery in our cold tanks, before the beers are gently filtered to increase the shelf life and filled into bottles. Our regular bottled beers available include 2B, 3B, DESI BIYAR, HOPERATION, KINGSDOWN, MOONLIGHT, MUSTANG BLACK, PIONEER, VOYAGER & WILTSHIRE GOLD, plus special seasonal & commemorative beers, when available.

All are available to buy at our Grape & Grain Wine & Brewery Warehouse, plus online for delivery in the UK.
