Oakham Ales

History

Started brewing in 1993 initially based on Station Approach, Oakham, hence the name. They moved to 80 Westgate, Peterborough, PE1 2AA (Map) in 1999, taking over the old Job Centre and turning it into reputably the biggest brewpub in Europe. Won CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain 2001 with JHB Bitter and followed it with SIBA's equivalent in 2002 with Bishop's Farewell. Over the summer of 2006 they opened a new larger brewery at their current address, brewing being split over the two sites. A third smaller plant was installed at the brewerry tap in autumn 2008.

Footnote - Since the 1974 local government reorganisation there has been much controversy over many county boundaries. The links we provide cover both possibilities; Ceremonial Counties which are the areas for which a Lord-Lieutenant has been appointed; and Historic Counties (and their allied county boroughs) which represent the position before the 1974 re-organisation.
