Indigenous Brewery Indigenous Brewery Ltd Peacock Cottage Main Street Chaddleworth Newbury Berkshire RG20 7EH Tel: 01488 505060 Contact Us |
Locally hand crafted ales for the discerning beer drinker.
Following years of intense and hedonistic imbibing and brewing in pursuit of delicious ales, Head Brewer Kevin Brady invites you to share the indigenous experience. Kevin has been brewing since 2011 and having successfully showcased some of his beers at local village events, he has now set up his own Micro Brewery in the village of Chaddleworth, West Berkshire. The focus is on producing hand crafted ales on a relatively small scale that offer something a little different. |

Two Cocks Brewery Christmas Farm Church Lane Enborne Berkshire RG20 0HB Tel: 01635 47351 info@twococksbrewery.com |
Started in 2009, The Two Cocks Farm and Brewery is set in 40 idyllic acres of Berkshire countryside. The original Two Cocks, Michael and Phil, built a stunning architecturally designned home which features on Kevin’s McCloud Grand Designs. In 2017 Caroline and Les took over to continue their passion of brewing great beer and producing delicious, sustainable food. Water for the brewery comes from the farm's very own bore hole and the beers are flavoured with wild hops found growing in the farm's hedgerows. Beers are named after the English Civil War as the site of the farm was involved during the battles of Newbury. |

Brewery established in 1995 in converted farm buildings in the grounds of The Pot Kiln pub, although the businesses are separate.

Following the demise of Morrell's Brewery in Oxford, West Berks Brewery is producing one of the area's few milds. |
