CHEERS! - from The Chiltern Brewery - one of England’s great little breweries. Family-owned and run since our launch in 1980, we have subsequently set out to reintroduce the lost concept of enjoyment for our shoppers in the course of considering our range of products, and to introduce new products and new ways of enjoying them at the same time.

As a result, we now have probably the most diverse range of beers, both draught and bottled, brewery chandlery, and associated services of any brewery in the United Kingdom. Indeed we are delighted that our chandlery range has been enthusiastically described as "the best all-rounder" in the U.K. by Mrs Susan Nowak, of the prestigious British Guild of Beer Writers, in her book the Beer Cook Book. 

In days of generally declining product quality - and accompanying blandness of presentation - we have moved specifically in the opposite direction, by deliberately using only raw materials of the highest quality available and preferably of English or British extraction. As a result of our insistence on supreme quality, we have been privileged to have a number of beers mashed-in and launched by prominent local people including the Earl of Buckinghamshire, the 10th direct descendant of John Hampden; Mr Colin Dexter, author of Inspector Morse; and Sir Nigel Mobbs KStJ JP, Lord-Lieutenant for Buckinghamshire.

Our regional relevance with speciality bottled beers has made us the first Buckinghamshire brewery to be appointed a supplier to two national supermarkets and a number of select hotels, delicatessens and restaurants in the area. Additionally, the great houses of the Thames and Chilterns region of The National Trust have incorporated our beer and cheeses in their restaurants.

Local customers of course have the added delight of visiting the uniquely presented Brewery Shop and visitors on conducted tours usually enjoy one of our famous "Brewery Bills of Fare" to conclude their trip. The Buckinghamshire Breweries Museum - the first small brewery museum in the U.K. - is an added attraction on site.

Our flavour-packed draught beers, along with an unusual range of rare ciders and good quaffing wines - both fruit and grape - are perennially popular for celebrations of all sorts for our supporters requiring just the right tone for their function combined with something definitely different!

In recent years, authors of national and international books and articles on beers and the breweries that produce them have found increasingly fertile ground with our products and services, and several TV programmes have featured the brewery. Local and national newspapers have given good support, along with local radio stations. Politicians have even been enabled to savour the flavour of our beers when Beechwood Bitter premium pale ale was available in the Strangers Bar of the Houses of Parliament.

Above all, we try to make sure that our customers are treated as individuals at all times, and that their support is both recognised and appreciated. For our products, we have endeavoured for our home and overseas customers to create again that defining sense of assurance accompanying the stamp that in former years encircled the world, "Made in England".
