Beermad is here to document the wonderful range of real ales produced by the brewers of the British Isles. The database contains details of beers from every beer producer known to have been brewing in the British Isles since about 1976. Additionally you can find information about a number of beers from other countries throughout Europe.
Originally, Beermad attempted to document
every beer, even the one-offs. However, there are so many one-offs these days that the emphasis is now on just documenting producers' regular, seasonal or occasional brews in order to provide a single point of reference about brewers' normal production.
With a lot of new beers and and average of something like 8 or 10 new producers being added every month, the Beermad database is growing fast, with 47 432 beers from 3 104 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.
