OUR STORY
Hinckley’s Only Microbrewery
​
Established in August 2013, Elliswood Brewery is proud to be Hinckley’s only microbrewery, and the town’s first commercial brewery since 1900.
Owned by Louise and Darren Lavender, landlords of two award-winning real ale pubs recognized by CAMRA, Elliswood Brewery was born from a passion for great beer and a desire to bring brewing back to the heart of Hinckley. Since its inception, the brewery has grown its customer base across the Midlands, consistently producing and supplying high-quality craft beers, including a range of new and seasonal specials.
the FUTURE
In 2020, after years of brewing success with Elliswood Brewery, we - Darren and Louise - decided it was time for a change. The brewing world was shifting, and we felt it was the perfect moment to evolve with it. After many conversations (and a fair few pints!), New Buildings Brewery was born.
​
As everyone knows, 2020 was a tough year for breweries and pubs alike. But amid the challenges came an opportunity - to slow down, refocus, and pour our energy into shaping the future of our new venture. From refining our brand to developing fresh recipes, those early days laid the groundwork for what New Buildings Brewery is today.
With a carefully curated range of craft ales and a continued commitment to quality, we’re proud to supply great beer to both our loyal supporters and new fans alike.
​
Looking ahead, we’ve got big plans brewing. We're working hard to cement New Buildings Brewery at the heart of Hinckley’s independent beer scene. From launching bottled beers and must-have merch for your home bars, to hosting our own beer festivals - we're just getting started.
Watch this space - exciting things are coming, and we can’t wait to share them with you.
