Real Taste

Our top priority is to achieve a great, authentic taste that beer lovers want to drink time and time again. Chantry Brewery grew from our passion for quality real ale. Carefully crafted using traditional methods, we believe that our range of award winning ales will suit everyone’s taste. Led by Head Brewer, Mick Warburton, the brewing team use the latest technology and custom built Moeschle equipment to ensure that our products are always consistent and reach the highest quality.

Our hops are sourced from Charles Faram (Worcester, UK), Merchants since 1865. These hops are fresh produce, handpicked from by the team. We travel to Worcester every harvest season to select the finest hops for Chantry Brewery ales. Hops are essential to give beer its bitterness and contribute towards the flavour and aroma. We also use the finest world-renowned Yorkshire malt from Thomas Fawcett & Sons (Castleford, UK), Maltsters since 1809. No sugar is added to any Chantry Brewery beers at any stage of the process and we try to reduce waste as much as possible. Spent grains are never wasted – we send this by-product to a local farm, which is used to feed the livestock. Even the farmer’s cattle can enjoy the real taste.

Curious about our brewing process? We love brewing beer, but it’s not an easy or quick process. A huge amount of time, effort and resources are poured into creating the perfect pint. Want to find out more? The team breathes, sleeps & drinks beer. They love chatting about Chantry Brewery ales and regularly take part in local ‘Meet the Brewer’ sessions. Keep an eye out on social media to find out the next session or contact the Brewery directly to host your own. Bring the Chantry taste to life in your own pub.

Real Ale

We have perfected a core range of real ales that are available at any time of the year, come rain or shine… or even snow. We also regularly release specials which are available for limited time periods, but may reappear due to demand. Popular with local businesses and clubs, we can provide bespoke beers in bottles, or in a cask with a tailored pump clip.
