Great things come from collaboration. A pint between the Pilgrim and Crumbs teams at a local festival led to a theory that using bread in the recipe of a lower alcohol beer could help maintain the rich body we all enjoy in stronger brews. Un-Watsed is our first test of that. Brewed using a whopping 50% sourdough bread rescued from Chalk Hills Bakery and finished with deliciously fruity Washington State hops, this beer is lower in alcohol but not short on flavour...

On Tuesday, 24th September custodianship of the much loved Reigate venue, The Cage was secured by Pilgrim Brewery.
The keys were handed over by the long term owner and manager, Adrian Buckland in an emotional but very happy exchange.
As the new owners we are very aware of the standing that this venue holds within the local community and that it is the first choice of many on a Friday or Saturday night out in town.
Much of this is because of the connection it has with local bands and performers and this is something that we definitley want to continue. We are also looking at other musical offers and how we can utilise the upstairs space even further.
We have of course added a couple of our own brews to the line up but it is definitely not going to become a Pilgrim only pub. Regular offers will stay in the line up.
We are of course heading into a slightly quieter part of the year but we are making plans for the run up to the festive period and will be sharing...

“Humankind was built on beer. From the world’s first writing to its first laws, in rituals social, religious, and political, civilization is soaked in beer.”

The collaboration between Monte Forte and Pilgrim Brewery at the Hatch will be coming to an end on Saturday 31st August 2024.
It has been great fun and we thank you for supporting us, but both businesses have agreed it would be best for Pilgrim Brewery to transition to their own food offering which will also allow Monte Forte to focus on its standalone restaurants.
It’s great when two businesses and sets of friends can work together like this and also acknowledge when a change of direction is best for everyone. Pilgrim is excited to launch their own offering with details to be announced soon and Monte Forte is equally excited to now shift full focus to its Farnham restaurant opening in November.
This doesn’t mean that Pilgrim Brewery and Monte Forte will cease working together, in fact Paolo has offered to provide advice on the new menu at the Hatch and you will still find Pilgrim beer...

Thank you to everyone who took part in our most successful Ale Trail to date. We had over double the previous year’s finishers!
By taking part you have helped support local pubs at a time that hospitality is struggling with many economic headwinds and also, we hope you had fun.
We are sorry if you were one of the finishers who was unable to collect their much coveted T-Shirt at the finish.
We have just taken delivery of a new batch at the brewery, and your T-shirt will be available for collection from 5pm tomorrow (Friday, 12th April).
Thank you again for your amazing support...
