Beer in Abingdon, Oxfordshire » Breweries http://abingdonbeer.co.uk News and information about pubs, beer, breweries and craft brewing around Abingdon in Oxfordshire Mon, 12 Jul 2010 09:51:30 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 New Brewery for Oxford http://abingdonbeer.co.uk/2009/10/09/new-brewery-for-oxford/ http://abingdonbeer.co.uk/2009/10/09/new-brewery-for-oxford/#comments Fri, 09 Oct 2009 08:23:07 +0000 The Abingdon Drinker http://abingdonbeer.co.uk/?p=108 Shotover Brewery Logo

A new craft micro brewery called the Shotover Brewing Company is due to
open soon in converted stables in Horspath just outside Oxford. The
owner and head brewer Ed Murray has been craft brewing for over twenty years
and has made the decision to turn his interest into a commercial venture.
It is anticipated that beer will be on sale by the end of November.

There are photos of stables being converted into the brewery on their facebook group and their main web site is at www.shotoverbrewing.com.

I am hoping that one of the Shotover beers will be at the Brewery Tap‘s Winter ‘Beer, Cider & Sausage’ festival on Friday 4th December – Sunday 6th December. This festival promises 30 different cask ales, 5 real ciders. The Big Boys Blues Band will be playing live on the Sunday from 4pm.

Note to any publicans reading this… I don’t intend to only mention the Brewery Tap and the Stocks. There are many other good pubs in Abingdon including Nags Head, Spread Eagle, White Horse, Cross Keys, Punchbowl, Plough, Broad Face. If you have any news, information on guest beers, festivals, etc, then please let me know and I’ll post it here.

Since the Morland brewery was bought by Greene King in 1999 and subsequently closed down and converted into flats, Abingdon has been without a commercial brewery.

Loose Cannon Brewery have applied for planning permission on the Ashville Trading Estate 6 Suffolk Way, Abingdon, OX14 5JX for Change of Use from B1/B8 to Class B2 for use as a micro brewery.

The application is from Loose Cannon Brewery, The Moorings, Wharfe Lane, Henley On Thames, Oxon RG9 2LL. This is a Limited company formed just over a year and a half ago on 11th December 2007. Company number 06450631. The directors are 27 year old William Laithwaite and Barbara Laithwaite. Barbara is a director of Direct Wines Limited, which operates Laithwaites Wines, the mail order wine company.

There are some Observations from the Environmental Health Team

Food and safety team: Commercial food businesses must register with this Authority at least 28 days prior to opening

Environmental protection team: Change of use to general B2 would not be acceptable in this location due to the proximity of residential area. Recommend use to be restricted to this specific use or development.

Scientific Officer: No comments
