Festival Publicity Sponsors: Steam Town Brew Co.
Steam Town Brew Co.
Bishopstoke Road, Eastleigh
steamtownbrewco.co.uk
Steam Town Brew Co. is a 6BBL brewery fast out-growing our current site. Also combining a taproom and burger bar, our team are continually economising with space in order to maximise our postage-stamp-footprint.
A short stroll over the bridge from Eastleigh railway station (on the mainline from London Waterloo), we are easy to get to and offer an open-door seven days a week.
Our site has a fascinating history. We opened in November 2017 and despite originally being built as a pub, the first ever pint poured here was a Steam Town one - one hundred and eleven years after the original application was rejected.
The name Steam Town is a nod to Eastleigh's rich industrial railway heritage, something we honour throughout the business - from original railway memorabilia and repurposed materials in the taproom, to our beer names and Heath-Robinson-inspired labels and pump clips.
A finalist in the SIBA Business Awards 2021 for the UK’s Best Independent Craft Brewery Taproom, we not only produce a wide gamut of delicious beers ranging from traditional cask ales to bourbon barrel-aged imperial stouts, but we also offer a friendly and welcoming space over two floors for beer fans to come and enjoy them at the source.

Hop Back Brewery
Batten Road Industrial Estate, Downton, Salisbury

Established in 1987 by John Gilbert at the Wyndham Arms in Salisbury, and moved to larger premises in Downton six years later.

Possibly the most awarded cask ale brewer in the UK we retain a quality first approach to our beers.
