Beermad is here to document the wonderful range of real ales produced by the brewers of the British Isles. The database contains details of every beer known to have been produced in the British Isles since about 1976. Additionally you can find information about a number of beers from other countries throughout Europe.
Inevitably over the years, many beers will have been brewed and never heard of since, but Beermad lists all those for which information has been found. (Unfortunately, reliable information on beers from outside the UK is harder to come by, so this is generally less comprehensive than information on British beers. Belgian and Dutch beers are well covered, whereas some other countries have less coverage.)
With an average of about 450 new beers and 8 new producers being added every month, the Beermad database is growing fast, with 45 750 beers from 3 012 brewers, brands and beer companies currently listed.
With so many new producers and beers being added, the
latest additions page is a good place to see what's new. You can also keep up-to-date with new beers and breweries with Beermad's
email alerts service.
