As we have mentioned in previous posts, as part of the deal to buy the brewery building, it was agreed that we would upgrade the brewery building to make it more attractive and functional.  The current building is in various states of disrepair and for the new flats being built at the front of West Street the brewery will be an eyesore if left in its current state.  There is a great opportunity to cement the future of Pilgrim Brewery HQ in Reigate by creating a building that is sustainable, efficient, will bring employment and people to the town and is part of the local community. 

Planning has now been submitted and you can view it by following this link https://planning.reigate-banstead.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=RAC2V0MVM1900&activeTab=summary, or by coming to the taproom where we have some of the plans displayed.  We plan to keep the main, iconic part of the brewery building and develop the areas around, using brick and natural materials.  The building is commercial and the design and layout has taken into account the need for efficient brewing, while also valuing the community aspect of the building and the local surrounds.  If you have any questions please email us at futureproof@pilgrim.co.uk
