West Berkshire Brewery released its first brew in 1995 and its beers have won over 40 awards since!
Our reputation is built on the quality of our product and the service that we offer to our customers, but we also have a clear ethos concerning our impact on the environment and we strive to make our business as sustainable as possible – it’s more than just a brewing process, it’s the way we do business as well. With this in mind, the majority of our ingredients are sourced locally, supporting the local economy and caring for the environment – for example, most of our hops come from the only hop garden in old Berkshire and spent grains are taken by a local farmer as animal feed – recycling at its best!.
Been a couple times for drinks and food, however this time booked onto the brewery tour as well! Evan was lovely and very informative. Definitely recommend to any in the local area or passing through!
As a beer reviewer and supporter of small breweries and craft beer, I thought I'd give Renegade a try.. ..I can't say I'm impressed. Stood around for 15 minutes with no greeting, walked down to the bar in a last ditch attempt for a quick beer, got told to go back to the front and someone would get a table sorted as its table service only. Waited again and eventually the same person that was behind the bar comes up to book a table. I decline, as if the service I've already seen is what to expect, I'll just forget the idea and head elsewhere. No issues. I'll just buy some beers and make tracks. Select some beers, then continue to stand for a further 10 minutes waiting to be served at the counter. May I add. If I was totally dishonest, due to how things were handled, I could have genuinely left the premises with arms full of beer ect and nobody would have been so much as the wiser! There are flaws that need seeing to. I'm not sure I'll even be back.. I can't say I'm overly impressed...
Love this place, good food, fantastic beers and a nice place to hangout. We've been both as a family with young children and with groups of friends and on both occasions it was great. Our kids loved the food - particularly the pizza. There is a little outdoor space and they liked exploring through the plants (rightly or wrongly) - there are no outdoor children's play facilities, so you may need something to entertain them.
Light & airy, excellent service and extremely tasty range of food with plenty of gluten free & vegan options (burgers, pizza, etc) washed down by lashings of good value, thirst quenching beer which melds the new more experimental craft brews with the tried & tested traditional bitters and even a mild. The Big Greek was an amazing stack of grilled vegetables in a sour dough bun disguised as a burger & chips (£14.50) while the meaties enjoyed their pulled pork Cuban cheese burger & chips (£16.50), both of which are best tackled with a knife & fork unless you have plates for hands. Well worth a visit, about 30mins from Reading/Caversham with plenty of parking and seating inside and out.
Lovely little find on a Sunday afternoon. Food was lovely, good portion sizes and a reasonable price. Really friendly and helpful staff and dogs welcome too. I wasn’t sure what beer to try and the member of staff even asked if I’d like to try a little of one first. Definitely will go back if visiting the area again.
