West Berkshire Brewery was founded in the summer of 1995 in a dilapidated building behind the Pot Kiln in Frilsham.

[4] By 2000, the business had outgrown the original site and so opened a second unit in Yattendon, thus increasing capacity to 25 barrels per week.

In 2013, the brewery appointed David Bruce, founder of the Firkin pub chain, as director.

[8] In 2021, allegations of workplace bullying and sexual harassment were made against the brewery by anonymous current and former employees.

[10] On 23 December 2021, the brewery entered administration[10][11] and it was announced the following week that it had been purchased by the local Yattendon Group.
