Papworth Brewery is a microbrewery based in the village of Earith, Cambridgeshire. We started operating from a garage in Papworth Everard (hence the name) but moved to larger commercial premises in Earith in 2017. In 2020 we opened our brewery taproom, The Crystal Ship, in separate premises but on the same industrial estate in Earith.
We’ve come a long way since those early days in the garage. Several of our beers have won awards, our taproom is in the Good Pub Guide and has won our local CAMRA’s “Pub of the Year” award, amongst others. But at it’s heart Papworth Brewery is just a small team of people who are passionate about beer.
The brewery was the inevitable outcome of a beer-loving scientist becoming disillusioned with his career. Chances are that you’re a beer lover too and can understand why someone would give up a successful 25 year career to brew beer. It’s got to be more interesting than most other jobs, right? Well, that’s the way our beer-loving scientist saw it. When “job satisfaction” is the taste of a good pint, who can argue?
It’s All About The Beer
Papworth Brewery was founded on an uncompromising philosophy, It’s All About The Beer, and an ambition to brew deliciously drinkable ales. The idea is that if we stick to the philosophy, then we’ll achieve the ambition.
