Arkells Brewery
Swindon
We believe that without raw materials of exceptional quality it is impossible to produce first-rate beers. This is why we go to great efforts to source the best malted barley from around the UK and spend the hop harvest every year picking out the finest grown hops for our Ales. We have a staple of distinctive regular beers and also introduce seasonal and special ales throughout the year.

Launched in April 2023, the Outland range has garnered accolades, including a Gold medal and Country Winner title for the Outland Ginger Pale Ale at the World Beer Awards 2024, and recognition for design excellence.
