Ballard's Brewery was set up in 1980 by
Mike Brown in an old cowhouse on a Sussex farm. It later moved to Elsted Marsh and in 1988
was taken over by Carola Brown in new premises
here in Nyewood. Head Brewer Francis Weston, with Ballard's almost from the start, heads a team
that produces some 1,500 gallons a week, each
batch individually brewed using malted barley milled
on the premises, whole-flower English hops, yeast and water. The only additive is isinglass finings
to `settle' the yeast sediment.
The Ballard's range comprises six regular beers, five seasonal and four
bottle-conditioned. In the brewery shop, open from 8am to
4pm (weekends by appointment), they sell the
beers, personalised labels for special events and a
range of merchandise that includes T-shirts, pewter tankards, pint glasses, key rings, brass
buckles and horse brasses. Brewery tours for groups of 12 to 20 can be arranged for weekday
evenings, or you can take a virtual tour on the website.
