Brakspear beer has been brewed in Oxfordshire since the early 18th Century. When the original Brakspear Brewery in Henley on Thames closed in 2002, Wychwood Brewery took over brewing Brakspear beers and enlarged its site in Witney, to incorporate a new Brakspear Brewhouse. The Brakspear Brewhouse at Wychwood Brewery today houses original brewing equipment from Henley, including 6 victorian wooden fermenting vessels (which form part of the famous unique Brakspear ‘Double Drop’ fermenting system) and the Original Brakspear Copper. Brakspear remains as it always has been, The Original Taste of Oxfordshire. Apply The Brakes… and enjoy a pint of pure Oxfordshire pleasure
