The Brewery The brewery is located at The National Trust's Grange Farm, in Crockham Hill. We have refurbished an old dairy building so bringing life to an old building and helping to boost the income of the farm. In its press release to launch the "More than a Pretty Place" report, the SE Region of the Trust wrote: "In a joint project with the farm tenant, the Trust facilitated the development of the business by providing and allowing adaptation of suitable premises and modifying the drainage. The Brewery employs two local people and will take on further staff as output increases. There will be opportunities in the future for the National Trust to help source ingredients for the beer, such as hops and malting barley, from other Trust farms, as well as to assist with markets." We have installed hygienic cladding throughout the brewery as well as stainless steel drains and newly poured concrete floors. In brewing cleanliness is everything and we spend alot of time cleaning and sterilizing the brewery. Only with a clean brewery can we guarantee the quality and consistency of our products. The brewery is owned and managed by Robert Wicks, who is also head brewer. The general manager and second brewer is Paul Spearman, assisted by Gordon Hancock. The brewery cellar is managed by Gary Burbery and our logistics are managed by Alan Duke with dray drivers, Gary Simmonds and Roger Morgan. Liz Wicks is the director in charge of sales with Sue Duke as office manager. Nick Naismith is the non-executive Chairman.
