Company Description

Purity is a leading Craft Brewer in the UK with plans to grow the business with the imminent opening of our new state of the art brewery. We currently brew three award-winning ales in an eco-brewery in Warwickshire. Purity pours it's heart and soul into supporting local arts events and champions all that's good in beer and food pairing
Our premium beers contain the finest natural ingredients and are multi award-winning. Located in the heart of Warwickshire, we care about our rural surroundings. We use a special wetland system to naturally filter liquid waste back to the watercourse. The system attracts a diverse range of wildlife. Nothing is wasted at the brewery: spent grain is fed to cattle, spent hops become fertiliser and spent yeast goes to the pigs. We pour our heart and soul into supporting local arts events and are a dab hand at beer and food pairing.
