Welcome to the NEAREST BREWERY

It seems everyday we hear of a new artisan or craft brewery hidden on a quiet country lane and often only known to a small number of locals. Here we try to solve the problem of finding these by bringing together a searchable resource of breweries, real ale events, beer festivals and tap rooms/outlets owned by breweries. We strongly believe you should be able to drink some beer that is made close to where you’re drinking it.
