Hopshackle
Brewery

Established in 2006 Hopshackle Brewery produces multi award winning real ales from its brewery in Market Deeping on the Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire border just North of Peterborough.

We pride ourselves in producing handmade, distinctive, high quality beers ranging from the traditional to the radical and innovative. Everything is done at the brewery from sourcing the best ingredients to brew with, right through to bottling the beer and labelling the bottles. This gives us complete control over the entire process.

The original brewery was made at The Charles Wells Eagle Brewery in Bedford circa 1980 and had a brewing capacity of 140 gallons. Being made by brewery engineers it was of a traditional English design with all the extra features that decades of experience bring. In 2015 the brewing capacity was increased to 360 gallons by the purchase of a new brewery fabricated at Malrex in Burton On Trent. The new brewery was based on the original brewery design to keep all those important features to maintain the distinctive taste, quality and consistency.

As one of the fore runners of the current craft beer movement, the beers have been praised by the beer writers Jeff Evans, Roger Protz and Des De Moor. Bottles appearing in ‘The Good Bottled Beer Guide’ and ‘300 More Beers To Try Before You Die’.

Bottling The Beer at Hopshackle.

Our Mission

All the beers produced are ‘Bottle Conditioned’ and described by Camra as RAIB (Real Ale In a Bottle). This is defined as “beer that contains yeast that gives a natural sparkle and sediment characteristic of all living beers”.

We passionately believe in doing things the natural and traditional way, the whole process takes about 3 months. From storing the freshly brewed beer in bottling tanks to the fully conditioned beer in the bottle being ready to drink.
