Against the Grain

THE STROUD BREWERY LIMITED

£16

Humans have been brewing beer for around 13,000 years. The invention of the wheel came much later, presumably when somebody needed a better way to carry their beer home. That same spirit of questioning priorities brings together Stroud Brewery and Tap Social, two mission-led breweries that believe business can be used as a force for good. We joined forces for Organic September to create AGAINST THE GRAIN. An extra-pale, hazy Hoppy Wit and Tap Social’s first organic beer. Here’s to a beer that does as much good as it tastes. Ingredients Water, Organic BARLEY Malt, Organic WHEAT Malt, Organic Ho

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as THE STROUD BREWERY LIMITED, number 05165299. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
