Welcome to Arbor Ales

We have been brewing quality craft ales since early 2007. All our beers are brewed using the finest ingredients: Maris Otter malt supplied by Warminster Maltings, Britain’s oldest working floor maltings, and whole hops from Charles Faram of Malvern.

Our beers are available in several real ale pubs in and around the Bristol area. One or two are always on tap at the Old Stillage in Redfield (our brewery tap), the Watershed Café Bar, the Greenbank (Easton), The Hillgrove Porter Stores and the Three Tuns in Bristol.

Our Oyster Stout has just notched up another CAMRA beer festival win, taking first place at this year’s Dorchester Beerex. We’ve tweaked the recipe in a few places over the last six months so it’s good to see it’s worked.

The second batch of our Oak Aged Imperial IPA has now been laid down to mature. We’re giving it nine weeks in cognac barrels so it will be ready just in time for the Tuckers Maltings Beer Festival in April. All but two firkins from the last batch went to beer festivals so we’re keeping most of it back for pubs this time.
