79 years after the closure of Windsor’s last brewery, we are delighted to be bringing brewing back to Windsor. Our brewery is within sight of Windsor Castle and we hope that our ales will prove to be a great hit for locals and many of the 17 million visitors who come to Windsor and Eton each year. When Burge’s Brewery closed its doors in 1931, it brought to an end a tradition of Windsor brewing that had lasted for well over 300 years. We managed to create a new brewery from scratch in just seven weeks. On the 1st March 2010, St David’s Day, we began installing the brewing vessels and on 23rd April 2010, St George’s Day, pubs started selling Guardsman best bitter. We are beginning to think we might have a bit of saintly help! Since launch the demand has been amazing, with Guardsmen selling out in many pubs and achieving the distinction of being the first beer to sell out at this years Reading Festival. As there were 600 beers at the festival this was no mean feat. Big, big thanks are due to our amazing Facebook fans (we have nearly 1600) and all the local CAMRA groups who have been spreading the word. Traditional cask brewing is a uniquely British institution. We have had so much help from so many other brewers all around the country who have been incredibly generous with their time and experience. Our ambition remains simple - to make great traditional cask ales and have great fun on the way. Each week, Will will be creating a new cartoon that captures some aspect of the brewery or just something topical that we find funny. If you’d like to see and hear how we are getting on then you can log on to this site or sign up to Facebook and Twitter. We would love to hear from you.
