The History of Langham Brewery
Langham Brewery was founded by James Berrow and Steve Mansley. These good friends had been brewing their own real ale for over 25 years and in 2003 decided it was time to progress to commercial brewing and started looking for somewhere local to base a 10 barrel brewery.
They found the right 10 barrel plant when Wickwar Brewery expanded its production. At the same time Cowdray Estate offered them a superb 18th century granary at Langham stables in Lodsworth. Its excellent location near the A272 and the chance to say how they wanted the barn laid out was too good to miss. Work started on the granary in spring 2005 and by spring 2006 Langham Brewery was up and running.
After test brewing different recipes and with expert input from David Smith, brewery consultant, Sundowner and Halfway to Heaven were born. The their next beer, Hip Hop, (blond hop infused), has proved an instant success and was the winner of the Western Sussex CAMRA beer of the Year 2007 and again in 2008.
