About the brewery

Two Bridges Brewery is a small, family run business set up by husband and wife, Kevin & Kerri Durkan and Susan Kane, Kerri’s mum.

Kevin came up with the name Two Bridges Brewery, walking home one evening over Caversham Bridge.  He wanted a name that was in keeping with being local and at the centre of the Caversham community.  As Caversham has two bridges it seemed the perfect choice. Caversham bridges are renowned for the swans that reside in the Thames beside them.  Kevin decided to use swan names as the theme for the ales he produces.

After some intensive training (and lots of tastings!) Kevin became a Master Brewer and Two Bridges Brewery successfully brewed its first real ale, Golden Cygnet on Sunday 13th September 2009,  it became a roaring success, and is still one of our most popular ales. It is always available along with lots of other Real Ales, look at the “our beers” section.

We are local and proud of it!.......
Although we are a small local brewery we strive to get all our ingredients from as local sources as we can and certainly try and source everything from inside the UK.  All our waste products are recycled or dealt with in an environmentally friendly fashion.

We also work closely with our clients to promote Real Ale drinking.   We are always happy to promote other local businesses and events. So please let us know about any up and coming beer festivals, speciality weeks or events in your establishment, we are more than happy to advertise it on our popular facebook page “Two Bridges Brewery”
