We’ve had a very busy few months here at the brewery; it feels like the right time to share a little more about our brewery ethos with you.

Our award-winning brewery is situated near Petworth in the South Downs National Park and offers a delicious range of fresh keg beer, cask conditioned real ale, bottles and cans. Our brewery shop and taproom offers a warm welcome to all locals, and to those visiting the area to enjoy the stunning regional landscape.

We’ve had a busy 18 months – we’ve opened a Taproom, built a club for our regular customers, created a new canning range, extended our range of charity events, and are working hard on the environmental impact of the business.

Lesley, co-owner of the brewery, explains “When Covid ‘struck’, over 80% of our trade was through our regional publicans, so we acted quickly to alter our offerings. We opened our brewery Drive Through, offered a local home Delivery Service and were blown away by the love, support and enthusiasm shown to us. We loved getting to know the customers personally, and they enjoyed meeting the small brewery team, and understanding more about the passion and craft which goes into each pint of Langham beer. We continue to hold this ethos close to our hearts.”

The brewery club for regular customers (now with over 800 members), which allows discounts of 10% on the ‘Beer Of The Month’, plus other special offers, is named ‘The Gulp’ club – the collective term for swallows, which were found nesting in the barn when we first arrived to brew, back in 2005.

As well as an extensive range of beers in the taproom, our knowledgeable team also serves soft drinks, delicious cake, and authentic Italian pizzas from our neighbour at Langham Stables, Farretti bakery. In addition to welcoming parties and celebrations to the taproom, our team also offers informative beer tasting sessions to help customers make the best beer choice for their special day (regardless of where the celebration takes place). Brewery Tours are also a popular choice.

We host regular and much-loved charity events in the courtyard and taproom. Forthcoming events include Live At Langham MADhurst Summer Festival (20th August), with proceeds to the Friends of the South Downs and South Downs National Park ‘Help Nature to Renature’ projects which safeguard the wonderful landscape; Bonkers For Conkers (Sunday 9th October) with proceeds to Chestnut Tree House Hospice Care, Sussex; and many more.

We’re proud of our environmental mission, which we’re consistently looking to improve and develop. We continue to evaluate all aspects of the business to expand our ‘green’ credentials. In collaboration with the University of Surrey we are examining carbon capture systems which will re-circulate carbon within the brewing process; we have chosen to increase our canned beer range (reducing transportation mileage and carbon footprint); as well as researching eco heating, and lighting systems and finding ways to reduce and recycle other waste.

“We aim to continue to know our local customer base, understand their needs and offer beers which are innovative, distinctive and flavoursome, created with quality ingredients and both traditional and contemporary skills,” adds Lesley. “We look forward to welcoming you soon”.

Langham beers can also be found in many local hostelries, as well as in local farm shops and supermarkets.
