Bristol Beer Factory
Bristol Beer Factory has been creating waves in the UK craft brewing scene since 2004, pioneering independent beer in Bristol and beyond. Our passion for cask forged our place on the UK brewing map.
Running through our veins are an O.G Milk Stout, our Independence U.S Pale Ale, and the iconic Southville Hop, a punchy West Coast style IPA. Always pushing forwards, we’re constantly evolving; go to the modern hop dreamlands of Optimist pale ale, and meet our best-selling and critically acclaimed Clear Head, an epic alcohol-free IPA.
