Brewery News
The borough's first brewery since 1956, the Bexley Brewery, run by Cliff and Jane Murphy and their son Cameron
and his fiancée Becky, has been brewing and distributing from Erith's Manford Industrial Estate (DA8 2AJ)
since September 2014, supplying casks via SIBA (the Society of Independent Brewers).
They gained both the ‘Best New Business’ award from Bexley Borough and the Pigs Ear (Hackney) festival award
for 'Beer of the Festival' in their first year and are in the habit of scooping SIBA awards.
The 'family' also manage the 'Bird and Barrel' in close proximity to Barnehurst station at 100 Barnehurst Road,
which hosts a varied programme of events from art life classes to periodic festivals. They can also be found
at local farmers’ markets at Hall Place, Bexley and at West Malling selling the key beers in bottled form,
and supporting local venues at one or another time of the year, such as Shrewsbury House, Shooter's Hill and
the Exchange, Erith, where their pop-up bar features.
For best information about Bexley Brewery's activities, the brewery's social media presence encompasses Facebook,
X and Instagram in addition to their website. If you prefer a periodic synopsis of activities, then use
