What Renegade Brewery does

Renegade Brewery, operated by The Yattendon Brewing Company Ltd, is a UK craft brewery headquartered at The Old Dairy in Yattendon, Berkshire, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Yattendon Group Plc. Founded in 1995 and previously trading as West Berkshire Brewery, the company rebranded in 2025 to Renegade Brewery, expanding its product portfolio across lagers (Renegade Lager, Renegade Master), pale ales (Detour, Solo AF), IPAs (Maharaja, Hazy Rider NEIPA), bitters (Good Old Boy, Good Old Dad), stouts (Blackguard Nitro Stout), golden ales (Retriever), radlers (Rhubarbie Girl), and a growing low/no-alcohol and gluten-free range. Brewing capability is anchored in small-batch production with notable technical specialisms including nitrogen-infused stouts and gluten-free processes across low-alcohol SKUs.

The business operates a diversified revenue model spanning direct-to-consumer e-commerce with UK-wide delivery (free over £60), an on-site Taproom & Kitchen, an annual £60 Beer Club subscription granting 10% cross-channel discount, branded merchandise, gift boxes and bundles, gin sales, and event-led income from festivals, running races, and cycling sportives. A newly launched Contract Brew & Pack B2B service with a dedicated trade portal extends the brewery's capacity into white-label and contract manufacturing. Distribution is UK-only (the company explicitly states it cannot supply outside the UK), and customer-facing segments span craft beer enthusiasts, low/no-alcohol consumers, gift buyers, and a secondary hospitality/retail trade channel. Multiple 2025 industry awards and high review scores (4.97–4.98/5) support an active brand momentum, though the company remains a sub-50-employee operation within a diversified parent group.
