Today saw the launch of Brentwood Brewing Company’s Public Grand Opening Event, with Brentwood and Ongar MP Eric Pickles on hand to formally open the brewery’s new premises.

In just seven years the company has become one of the UK’s most celebrated brewers, having won awards for several beers including Beer Of The Festival for its BBC2 beer at the Cambridge Beer Festival. Rising demand has seen the company move to larger purpose-built premises adjacent to the Calcott Hall Farm Shop in Ongar Road.

Mike Jones spoke to founder Roland Kannor about the move and history of the brewery. You can hear the interview again below:
