Raise a glass with Wimbledon Brewery

The ‘new’ Wimbledon Brewery has a reputation for brewing beautifully balanced beers and has won numerous national and international awards. They brew cask beers (Common Pale Ale, SW19 Blonde, Phoenix London Porter, Quartermaine IPA, Copper Leaf Red Ale), keg beers (Wimbledon Lager, Wimbledon Pale) and speciality vintage and barrel aged beers (XXXK 2017 & 2019)

What you can find:

They are very focused on local and provide free local delivery.  They also have a Brewery Tap which opens at weekends and hosts all manner of events from rugby screenings to comedy and film nights.  In addition to its multi-award winning beers the brewery has also produced a range of artisan food and drink in collaboration with other producers:

Wimbledon Wagyu Burgers: The product of a partnership with Trenchemore Farm (www.trenchmore.co.uk).  The brewery had beer that would have gone to waste once the first lockdown was announced.  Some of this was mixed with the cattle feed and the end result was some very happy cows and glorious burgers.  These are available at the brewery tap or to buy from the brewery shop.

Beer Cheese: A partnership with The Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company (www.cheddaronline.co.uk), combines cheddar with Copper Leaf Red Ale to produce a delicately flavoured soft cheese.

Wimbledon Pink:  A partnership with Greyfriars Vineyard (www.greyfriarsvineyard.co.uk) which is Wimbledon’s local vineyard.  The Wimbledon Pinot Noir grapes occupy a particularly sunny patch and this comes through in the colour and flavour of the resulting wine.  Only available seasonally.  2020 vintage due spring of next year.

Wimbledon Garden Gin: A partnership with Wimbledon based Rebel Distillers.  The brewers wanted to produce a gin that was very local.  Amongst the mix of botanicals are Wimbledon Honey, Gorse and Heather (as found in abundance on Wimbledon Common) and one of our favourite hop varieties Cascade.  The end result is a Juniper forward gin with a citrus top and a brewery twist.  We are very pleased with the end result as are The Spirits Business Global Gin Masters as the have just award it a Gold Medal in a blind tasting.  Not only is it beautifully packaged, but the bottle is designed to be refilled at the brewery.
