Beachy Head Brewery
Beachy Head beers are made with simple, traditional ingredients to guarantee the rich, nuanced flavours of real ale. Our dedication to quality and tradition has already earned our young brewery a number of awards.
Our philosophy is simple; we make great ales using the finest ingredients”
Roger Green, Master Brewer
All our ales contain live yeast and should be poured carefully to leave a small amount of sediment in the bottle. Best served at a cool (but not cold) temperature.
Original Ale - 4.5% Alc. Vol.
Beachy Head “Original Ale” is a bottle conditioned bitter produced with only water, floor malted barley (optic and crystal) and challenger hops from English producers.

Legless Rambler - 5.0% Alc.Vol
The distinctive flavour of Legless Rambler comes from brambling cross hops. The name is a tribute to all those who walk the wonderful South Downs Way from Winchester to Beachy Head and celebrate accordingly. Winner of Eastbourne Beer Festival Microbrewery Beer of the Year 2008 and 2011 and Beer of the Festival at the same event in October 2010.
South Downs Ale - 4.4% Alc. Vol.
This pale ale bitter has sweet bitterness and floral characteristics. A well-balanced ale produced using malted barley and hop flowers. An ideal drink to have in a local pub within the South Downs National Park or to take home to savour the memories of this spectacular countryside.
Parson Darby’s Hole - 4% Alc.Vol
A dark ale/stout named in honour of the legendary Parson Darby who saved many lives at Beachy Head. Parson Darby was appalled by the number of shipwrecks and drowned sailors and he knew a reliable fixed light was needed to warn men at sea of the Beachy Head coastline, so he excavated "Parson Darby's Hole" in the caverns that already existed near Belle Tout. By spending nights in his caves he was able to save many lives.
