A name with a story

A family name.
A proper pub feeling.

Bannister is founder Josh Bannister’s family name. A childhood joke about banisters and staircases became a brewery name with a smile built in.

The inspiration is traditional English ale and the warmth of a country pub: rich flavour, familiar character and the pleasure of that first sip through a thick, foamy head.

English ale at heart

Made for the
love of flavour.

Gentle English hops. Toasted malt. A rich, roasted finish. Start with the traditional side of the Bannister family, or take a brighter, hoppier step.
