HISTORY

Brakspear Beer has been brewed in Oxfordshire since 1779. When the original Brakspear Brewery in Henley on Thames closed in 2002, Wychwood Brewery took over brewing Brakspear beers and enlarged our site in Witney to incorporate a new Brakspear Brewhouse. The Brakspear Brewhouse at the Wychwood Brewery today houses original brewing equipment from Henley including the Brakspear copper and unique ‘double drop’ system. Brakspear remains as it has always been, The Original Taste of Oxfordshire.

 

Brakspear Bitter

Perhaps the greatest beer in the world at 3.4% abv’ - Andrew Jefford, Financial Times. A superb session beer. Amber in colour with a good fruit, hop and malt nose. The initial taste of malt and the well-hopped bitterness quickly dissolves into a predominantly bitter-sweet and fruity finish.

 

Brakspear Oxford Gold

A remarkably zesty brew, with fresh, citrussy aromas and a firm fruity flavour. Terms and conditions apply. See www.brakspear-beers.co.uk for details. Offer available whilst stocks last. Over 18’s only. Closing date 30th December 2011 for collection of free prize.
