2012....

Alfred’s Brewery is a Hampshire Microbrewery in the historic city of Winchester, and opened it’s doors in 2012. The business started small and on a bit of a tight budget by our brewer Steve.  Steve had been brewing professionally for the previous 10 years and  had always had an itch to start something in his hometown of Winchester.

The first 6 years were hard work but successful, and in 2017 the brewery moved to the current premises on Easton Lane.  The capacity was increased three-fold with a new semi-automated brewhouse capable of producing high quality, consistent beers.

 

The brewery maintains a philosophy of continuous development.  In the production of beer, customer service and corporate responsibility.

We were pleased to be awarded by the Winchester Business Awards in their Eco category in 2019, and in 2020.  We currently power our steam boiler using 100% renewable gas, use energy efficient LED lighting throughout the building and have an ongoing endeavour to minimise water use.  Our recycling programme has been extended to take back the plastic shrink wrapping from our 12 packs of bottles.  The cardboard trays can be recycled at home but we can recycle the wrap, just hand it to us when you see us!

If you are a business looking to improve your sustainability we would be happy to talk about the steps that we have taken so far.  We would also highly recommend the Sustainable Business Network, locally made up of like minded people and organisations.
