Somers but not as you know it!
Unfortunately, the yeast strain that we used to use for Somers that gave its classic Kolsch style flavour and mouthfeel is being discontinued. Although we could keep producing Somers as it was for another year or so we thought that we would be only delaying the inevitable, therefore we welcome a recipe change to what has been a great beer ever since the first brew over three years ago.
We have sourced a new yeast strain, a true bottom-fermenting lager yeast (Saccharomyces pastorianus) which brings back memories of our original lager 'Pilgrim'. This new strain combined with a combination of German noble hops produces a real 'snappy' lager, highly quaffable with herbal, woody and citrus notes. The grist remains the same, Pilsner malt with additions of Vienna and wheat lends itself to the new additions past the mashing process.
We're super excited and thrilled...

On Thursday, 8th September we celebrated 5 years since Adrian and Rory took charge of the brewery and became our new owners and it is safe to say that a lot has been accomplished in that time.
When they took charge back in 2017, they were both aware of the heritage that came with the brewery, as Pilgrim Brewery also celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.
A lot has changed in 5 years; we have seen a brewhouse overhaul including the upgrade of equipment, the addition of a Taproom, a successful Crowdfunder which has enabled us to keg our beer at source. We have developed strong relationships with a number of prestigious venues including Surrey County Cricket Club and Lingfield Park Racecourse and most recently we opened our first free house, The Hatch.
None of this would have been possible without your support and the support of our fantastic local community and for that we say thank you... -

We cannot thank you all enough for the incredible support and patience you have shown whilst we have been busily working away to reach this point.
At midday on Thursday, 1st September we finally open the door and welcome in our first customers and we couldn’t be more excited.
We have worked extremely hard to upgrade the cellar and can now have up to 5 cask beers on tap and 15 keg at any one time, one of which is a speciality continental beer font.
We have sourced gins and other spirits from local companies and The Vineking are providing the wines.
Our opening times will be: -
Tuesday to Saturday - 12:00 to 23:00
Sunday - 12:00 to 22:00
We aim to provide food in the near future and will start with a range of pop-up venders.
Thank you again and we look forward to welcoming you...
