List of breweries in England

This is a partial list of breweries in England.

Beer in England pre-dates other alcoholic drinks produced in England, and has been brewed continuously since prehistoric times.

[1] As a beer brewing country, England is known for its top fermented cask beer (also called real ale) which finishes maturing in the cellar of the pub rather than at the brewery and is served with only natural carbonation.

Modern developments include consolidation of large brewers into multinational corporations; growth of beer consumerism; expansion of microbreweries and increased interest in bottle conditioned beers.

[2] In 2000, there were around 500 breweries in the UK,[3] while the 2015 edition of the Good Beer Guide listed 1,285 breweries operating in Britain.
