Downton Brewery


The Downton Brewery is a microbrewery in Downton, Wiltshire, which started brewing in April 2003. It now has a 20 barrel brewing plant, producing up to 60 barrels a week.
For its size the brewery has an incredibly large range of ales, with over 30 ale varieties produced annually between bottle and cask. These include core beers, monthly specials, seasonals, four "Chimera 4 Seasons" specials and various one-offs. In making their beers, they regularly use barley, wheat, oat and rye malts; hops from eight countries, along with a variety of herbs, spices, fruits and honey.
The brewery currently does not run regular brewery tours, but is open daily from 08.00 until 16.30 to cater to the public, and patrons are encouraged to drop in and see how the beer is made.

Regular cask ales

Downton have won 19 awards, including the CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain London/South East 2011/12 for their Dark Delight.
