Award Winning Beer Traditionally Brewed in the Heart of South Northamptonshire

At Towcester Mill Brewery it's just four ingredients that go into making our cask conditioned beer - barley, hops, water and yeast.

When we first started brewing Towcester Mill cask beer in 2014 we wanted to establish three flagship beers, all completely different to each other, with their own unique style, flavour and colour. Mill Race, Bell Ringer and Black Fire, the first three beers, were born!

Since then we've developed an interesting and rather eclectic range of beers, some of which are regulars on the bar, as well as our seasonal specials and one off brews. Our beers range from a 3.8% amber session ale, Crooked Hooker, to our strongest 5.4% seasonal special, Santa's Tipple. Today, all our beer is vegan friendly and available in a variety of different outlets from our own Tap Room, to a number of local pubs, restaurants and shops in and around Northamptonshire.

Our new Bottle Shop at the Brewery also has a range of our beers from single 500ml bottles, three bottle gift packs, six bottle jute bags and cases of 12. Draught beer can be available in 10L and 20L polypins, as well as in 72 pint firkins for trade use or special occasions. We hope you like the selection below, and even better, we hope you like the taste. Cheers!
