Weltons Brewery is an independent brewery founded by Ray Welton in 1995 in Dorking, England.
Brief detailsUsing the money he made from selling his drinks distribution business to Beer Seller, Ray Welton built Welton's Brewery himself using equipment he found in a field. The tax situation in the 1990’s in Britain was not helpful to small brewers, and eventually he had to brew on Arundel’s equipment in order to save costs. But when Andy Hepworth started up the Beer Station, Ray was able to move his own equipment and yeast onto the site and that was, for two years, a shared operation. But in August 2003, a year after the sliding scale for brewers was introduced, Ray felt confident enough to once again brew independently. He is still using the equipment he built himself, though, like Fullers brewery, he is now using a bottom fermenting ale yeast which he feels gives him more beer per fermentation as a result of less foam in the tank.
AvailabilityThe cask ales are available locally and at various beer festivals.
BeersThere are a wide range of beers available all year round.
