Baker’s Dozen is a two-person microbrewery bringing you modern cask, keg and canned beers from England’s smallest county. A lifetime in the pub industry has lead to a passion for cleaning and beer. Surely the natural progression is to start a brewery? Established in 2015 with a love of hop-forward cask beer, we wanted to brew the styles of beer we love for the local community. Ensuring consistency and high levels of quality has allowed the business to grow organically and win the hearts and palettes of drinkers across the East Midlands and East of England.

At Bowler’s Brewery, based in The Deepings near Peterborough, our aim is to produce premium quality bottle and keg conditioned beers, inspired by traditional British ales and US craft beers. Predominantly vegan friendly, we use local suppliers, but more than anything we like to produce beer that just tastes great! Our distinctive, tasty craft ales are now available for you to purchase online. Offering gift sets, merchandise and mixed bottle sets, these all make ideal gifts for celebrating special occasions such as birthdays, Christmas and New Year and also just because it’s the weekend and you can.

Our aim for the range is to offer a steady supply of new and interesting beers. Many of these are one-offs or collaborations which allow us to maintain our own interest along with our customers. Some of the one-off brews are too popular to only produce once and so our offering has expanded and we have to work quite hard to contain the variety of beers to a manageable number without disappointing too many customers.
