WINNING CLASSIC
ENGLISH BITTER
Stories are important. They’re how us humans share experiences, escape from our everyday, build new tribes and teach new skills. The art of storytelling has always been closely connected to the same occasions where we share food and drink, especially beer. From the very outset we looked to create a variety of characterful beers with bold flavours & stories to tell. An uncompromising approach, dedicated to using the finest quality, locally sourced ingredients, resulting in Mr Chubb’s, Good Old Boy and Maggs’ Mild. They all have a story to tell, and our next chapter doesn’t ignore these roots; it grows from them, as our passionate brewery teams push the boundaries of new beer flavours and styles, and we start to tell our new Renegade craft stories through Queensbury Jack, Maverick and Brewski.

2022 We’re re-born as Renegade
Here at Renegade we’re all about inclusivity. Bringing together the passion, skill and experience of our team to deliver top quality beer and a place where everyone can relax, unwind and empower others. We truly believe the more perspectives we have, the better decisions we can make, and we support each other in our individuality; achieving better results when we work together. Some of our best ideas have started life in our very own Taproom over a pint, sharing ideas and challenging the status quo.
Our unique rural location, imaginative stories and love of small batch, independently brewed beer has culminated in a brewery with earth friendly ambitions, beers with serious drinkability and a place for everyone.
We’re all Renegades, Misfits and Adventurers at heart…
