We are Mad Squirrel; an innovative, contemporary brewery based just outside of London at the foot of the Chiltern Hills. 

The journey began in 2005, we have continually grown and evolved. We pride ourselves on this continued evolution, with a focus on quality, innovation and exploration.  

Our mission is simple, to craft fantastic beer that excites, satisfies, and pushes new boundaries, and share our passion and products with as many people as possible.  

Our Core Range is brewed all year round and caters for all tastes, from milk stout, through pale ales to pilsner lager. Our Occasional and Limited Releases allow us to explore new flavours and create unique and stimulating beers. We do not like to stand still!

At the heart of our operation are our skilled brewers, blending traditional beer craft with new approaches to create an our ever changing selection of beers.

We have 9 Mad Squirrel bars and an online shop, we supply pubs, shops and events and are stocked in many of the main supermarkets.  We are always looking for new outlets and partners so our beers reach the people who want them.

We strive to continually better ourselves, our products, our reach and our impact, by listening to ideas, looking beyond the usual, trying new things, and embracing change.
