Stroud Brewery was established in 2006, to simply make great tasting beers for the local community whilst being the change he wanted to see in the business world.
Today Stroud Brewery is a thriving enterprise and our tap room has become one of Stroud’s cherished local landmarks. We make great tasting, ethical and organic beer and we create welcoming, fun social spaces
Given the amount of awards, all the brewery’s beers are certified organic by the Soil Association, its lively taproom which has become an integral part of the community and sustainable features such as rainwater harvesting to flush toilets and new energy efficient chillers that recover the heat from fermenting beer to heat the bar and offices, it seems that Pilley has succeeded. Oh, and all the beers use Cotswold grown barley which is traditionally malted at Warminster Maltings. The core range of the brewery features pale ales, amber bitters, lagers and stouts, while seasonal and one-off brews are also made throughout the year, including a green-hopped pale ale Brewer’s Garden, which where locals grow hops in their garden to go into the beer.
