Drop the Anchor Brewery

Welcome to Drop the Anchor Brewery based in Christchurch Dorset.

The Brewery Tap opened in May 2017, and serves a selection of handcrafted beers, all unfined on principle. Production is concentrating on three main brews and one experimental, and take their names from local history. The Brewery is a short scenic walk from Christchurch centre, over the two River Avon bridges, and at the rear of the Emporium in Bridge Street. When the Emporium is closed (after 5pm) access is via the back entrance in Stoney Lane, but the Emporium car park can still be used. Take aways can be purchased in 2 & 4 pint containers.

Our Goals at Drop the Anchor Brewery will be to build a reputation for handcrafted care, time-honored methodology, and the finest natural ingredients from around the world, as well as housing a friendly tap house/ Brew bar

Our product lines will include India Pale Ale, Porter and Pale Ale.

Drop the Anchor Brewery handcrafts its beers in small 30-40 cask batches under close personal attention. The latest brewing equipment and technologies are seamlessly combined with traditional brewing methods to ensure consistently excellent taste, whether packaged in bottles or Cask.

But the main goal is to provide and drink more beer!
