Newent, Gloucestershire - 117 miles from the Farm Direct Depot
Whittingtons Brewery was established in early 2003 as part of the Three Choirs estate, which is set in 75 acres of rolling vineyards in the Gloucestershire countryside.
The brewery is named after one of Gloucestershire's most famous sons, Dick Whittington. Legend has it that Dick was born in the hamlet of Pauntley, near to the site of the vineyard, and lived in nearby Gloucester before embarking on his adventurous life in London. Our beer names concentrate on Whittington's cat, Puss, who became as famous as Dick Whittington himself!
Whittingtons is a five-barrel brew plant, which is one of the smaller brewery sizes. A full mash tun method is used to brew their three beers: a 3.6% ABV 'session' ale, a richer 4.2% ABV premium beer and their seasonal pale ale.
Only locally sourced hops are used, with First Gold being the primary hop variety. Malts from traditional English floor maltings are also a vital ingredient at Whittingtons, and their head brewer has selected the Maris Otter variety as the best base for their beers.
The use of these natural ingredients is in keeping with the classic image of Great British Beer, and at Whittingtons they intend uphold the traditional methods of brewing, which give their beers a flavoursome, rich hoppy character.
