Barsham Brewery

Barley is malted just down the road before being blended with water from the estate’s own well and hop varieties from around the world to create award-winning beers and ales.
Highlighting Barsham Brewery’s investment in new facilities to enable growth and innovation, along with its strong partnerships with others, the judges said it was fantastic to see “the spirit of the grain-to-glass business really come to life”.
