Great British beer since 1981.
Welcome to Woodforde's.
Great tasting beer, brewed with passion and pride for almost four decades. Founded in 1981 and named in honour of Parson James Woodforde, an 18th century clergyman who wrote lovingly of his passion for good food & great beer, we began life as a partnership between small batch home brewers and have grown into the award-winning brewery we all love today.
