St Dominic's Brewery

Brewing ale would have been a daily occupation for the medieval friars – as common as bread-making. After the Dissolution when the friary was abandoned, the Brewers & Bakers Guild used the Chapter House for their quarterly meetings. It seems appropriate to the story of Blackfriars we continue the narrative and brew our own ale as we now bake our daily bread. We’re starting with a range of three beers – a pale ale, IPA, and lager – all authentic to Dominican brewing traditions. You can enjoy these brews while dining in Blackfriars Restaurant, attending events, or relaxing in Blackfriars Parlour Bar or Cloister Garden. We also offer these beers at our sister restaurants, Dobson & Parnell and Hinnies.
