Pilgrim Brewery is located in the market town of Reigate and was established in 1982. This makes it the oldest craft brewery in the South East. Reigate is on the old pilgrimage route between Winchester to Canterbury. There are records of beer being brewed in the town for hundreds of years.
Pilgrim Brewery was founded by Dave Roberts who was also instrumental in the set-up of SIBA (Society of Independent Brewers). SIBA is dedicated to bringing craft beer to the market He also is involved with the Progressive Beer Duty. Both these achievements laid down the foundations for the craft beer revolution we are enjoying today.
In September 2017 Pilgrim Brewery was purchased by Adrian and Rory. Their aim is to bring quality ales and beers to the South East. There has been a big investment in the brewery, including new equipment to increase brewing capacity. Also, new controllers throughout the brewing process to ensure consistency and new cleaning in place (CIP) technology.
Pilgrim Brewery Philosophy:
“We are a family run business driven by the desire to brew the very best of beers, consistently. With a collaborative culture, Pilgrim Brewery associates itself with many local businesses to increase creativity and cooperation within our community. Outstanding beer with passion.”
Dorking Brewery has a process of making beer that is as natural and environmentally friendly as possible. 97% of the grain which they use comes from East Anglia. Any spent grain is taken 15 metres down to the nearby farm to be fed to the local dairy herd.
Dorking Brewery is a carbon negative brewery. This further helps the Surrey Hills environment we live in.
