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’, Over 90% of this is bottled, the remainder being for cask beer with over half of our bottle volume is exported. Our capacity is now 15,000 barrels per annum (83,000 pints per week).

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.
