Bath Ales : About our bottling plant

In early 2007, we commissioned a new state-of-the-art bottling line and installed it in dedicated new premises, conveniently situated just down the road from the main brewery. As a result, our bottled brews have never been better!

Everyone’s a winner

We're rather smitten with our new bottling equipment. It's been assembled using specialist equipment from a number of sources including Britain, Shanghai and the Czech Republic, and runs like a dream.

The new kit has enabled us to greatly improve the quality of our bottled beer and offer more of our ales in bottles.

However, as cask-conditioned beer remains our core business, we've made the bottling line available to other people, and are happy to assist breweries nationwide in their ambition to bottle their beers.

To that end, we've put together a bottling information pack in which we've set out the process, its requirements and the assistance we offer.

If you're considering us for your contract bottling we encourage you to pay us a visit on a bottle processing day. This will give you first-hand experience of our system and the quality of the end product.

To receive a copy of our information pack – or to arrange a visit – just get in touch.
