About Richmond Hill Brewing Company

Established in 2015 with a 50 liter nano system, we have grown and matured into a brewery that takes great pride in the sessionality and flavor of our brews.

Our early success with our flagship beer, the Car Park John amber ale, has given us the confidence to produce a wide range of over the top, bespoke and seasonal beers some of which have won national awards.

Thanks to a growing demand our brewery expanded significantly and  relocated to its present location.  Our canning line ensures that our brews delivered fresh and with all the flavor we envisioned when we prepared our beloved recipes.

Shortly after opening a new brewery and due to popular demand, we opened our tap room.

Niall Cook, Master Brewer says, “Our beers are designed not just for easy drinking but also to evoke deep emotions you never knew you had.”

We are not only about beer. All craft beverages are our bread and butter so come and enjoy our hard lemonade, Jane Doe, or our range of Wawu Tonics which pair perfectly with our  own berry infused London Dry Gin, Pretty Poison.

Tap Room and Beer Tasting

Our Tap Room is right next to our brewery and serves our awesome brews fresh from the fermenters. The Tap Room team are knowledgeable and friendly and will happily tell you all about each beer.

Situated in a rustic court yard with a tented canopy and wood fired heaters, our Tap Room has as much atmospheres as our brews have character. If beer is not your thing, our bar boasts a vast array of selected craft gins, expertly garnished to your taste. 

We are also surrounded by a couple of great eateries and tasty snacks and meals can be ordered from their roving staff.

Richmond Hill Brewing Company – Affectionately known as RHBC, we are a craft brewery that pushes boundaries and brings you something truly special.
