Company description
Ramsbury Brewery & Distilling Co Ltd. Is part of the Ramsbury Estates Group made up of over 19,000 acres of Northeast Wiltshire, West Berkshire and North Hampshire, the home farms are centred on the beautiful village of Ramsbury, which nestles in the heart of the Kennet valley.
On site at Ramsbury, we built our brewery in 2004 to make the most of the world-class barley and the natural progression was to build the distillery in late 2014 and we've been winning awards since. We have recently invested in building a stunning Events suite and updated our Distillery Suite for hire and showcasing the site.
Currently we make cask conditioned ales and Premium Gin and Vodka as well as laying down Wheat and Single Malt Whisky. We have a range of onsite facilities and host tours and Gin Schools which we wish to optimise for trade and consumer guests as well as host the best events possible ranging form on site weddings to Sponsoring Badminton horse trials and our very own Rasmfest. We set the benchmark for environmental sustainability and circular supply chains and continually challenge ourselves and our supplies to do better.
