Butcombe Brewing Co.

Bristol born and made to stand out, Butcombe Brewing Co. began life at a time of cultural, social and political change, crafting beer before ‘craft beer’ was even a thing.

At a time when few were willing to take the risk of starting a brewery dedicated to producing simple, premium and easy-drinking ales, Butcombe took a different path. What some may have seen as defiance, or even madness, became the foundation of a thriving brewing business. More than 45 years later, through hard work, unwavering values and a commitment to its Bristol roots, Butcombe has established itself as one of the UK's most respected independent brewers.

By taking a distinctive approach and working closely with the very traditions of brewing, Butcombe has crafted its own story, one pint at a time. The principles that inspired the brewery at its inception remain just as important today.

Butcombe is powered by a passionate and diverse team united by a shared love of great food, quality drink and outstanding service. The greatest reward comes from seeing customers enjoy products that have been crafted and served with genuine care. At Butcombe, everything is done from the heart.
