The Brewery

:: see also Creating the Brewery in 1996..

The brewery at St. Peter’s is housed in listed former agricultural buildings which were last used in the late Sixties. They then became derelict but offered a superb site both for a working brewery and a visitors’ attraction.

Today, the brewery produces ‘real ale’ and has a capacity of 200 barrels/wk (57,600 pints).

Our oval Bottle is a 500ml copy of one from Gibbstown, near Philadelphia which dates from c. 1770. It was produced for Thomas Gerrard, an innkeeper with a tidewater inn on the Delaware River Some of our beers are now sold in a round version of this bottle in export markets.
