Your Bristol Favourites: Breweries
This month, Bristol24/7 readers named their favourite breweries in Bristol. Here are some of the best:
Incredible brewing company
214-224 Broomhill Road, Brislington, BS4 5RG
“Making beers to reflect the varying seasons using traditional methods. I also look forward to trying their beers at the markets at the Tobacco Factory and Whiteladies Road.”
Lydia Fletcher
Wild Beer Co.
Units 6-8 Gaol Ferry Steps, Wapping Wharf, BS1 6WE
“Okay, so they don’t make their beers in Bristol but they are still very much of the city’s beer scene. They are also wonderfully experimental. Exhibit A: Iced Modus, a barrel-aged iced beer to celebrate their fifth birthday, blended, frozen and aged again in Pedro Ximenez barrels.”

Dawkins Ales
Unit 2 Lawnwood Road Industrial Units, Easton, BS5 0EF
“Becoming just as known for their beers as for their pubs. Had a great time at a recent visit to their new tap room in Easton.”
Gemma Tottingham
Left Handed Giant
Unit 8 & 9, Wadehurst Industrial Park, St Philip’s Road, BS2 0JE
“The best beers in the city – I haven’t had a bad or even an average beer from them, all are excellent. In a bar I will always choose their beers over others and completely trust the name, which is rare.”
Rachel Cartwright

Tim Brown
Lost and Grounded

Wiper and True
