ABC Brewing (Aylesbury Brewhouse Co)

Aylesbury

Pre-pandemic, Vale owned and operated Aylesbury Brewhouse Co, a sub-brand that brewed small-batch experimental beers on a smaller brewery kit at the excellent Hop Pole in Aylesbury. Now the kit at the Hop Pole is no longer operational, but from this year we’re going to be brewing new beers (and bringing back some old favourites!) under the ABC banner, all brewed at the main brewery. So expect a new monthly one-off beer across a range of different styles: high/low ABVs, hazy/juicy IPAs, new world flavours etc... Our core and seasonal Vale beers will, of course, be continuing in a range of classic ale styles.

Amwell Springs Brew Co

Wallingford

Amwell Springs Brew Co (ASBCO) is a small, independent brewery founded in 2017 that brews its beer using its own precious spring water, combining that with high-quality English malt, well-chosen hops, and carefully cultivated yeast to make full-flavour craft beer. They run sustainably — composting used hops, reusing yeast, and giving spent malt to local farms — and operate a pop-up outdoor bar by their spring, as well as selling via a brewery-shop with polypins, mini-kegs and bottles.
