The Three Acres


Three Acre Brewery was born in the East Sussex countryside, nestled between ancient forests and rolling hills.

It all began in a garden shed, where co-founders Chester, Jamie and Peter - friends since primary school - began brewing, in an attempt to make the perfect IPA.

Inspired by traditional real ales and new-age craft beers alike, they decided to start a brewery which combined the best of both.

Launch Day


The Blackboys is a 14th Century Sussex Inn - and the nearest pub to the Three Acres. We had been to the annual Blackboys Beer Festival every year of our lives, so no pressure launching there! We spent most of the day pacing circles in the Brewery and making our way through the occasional anti-stress pint.

The next day, we tried Three Acre from a bar for the very first time. To cut a long story short - our Best Bitter and Session Pale were the first barrels at the festival to go empty...

Cask Beer


Shortly after the Beer Festival, we began supplying casks of our beer to pubs across Sussex and Kent. We specialise in cask beer and believe that there's nothing better than a pint of Three Acre pulled from a pub tap. 

Brewing cask beer is somewhere between art, magic and science. It's a live product with active ingredients, bringing a depth of flavour you can't find anywhere else. All of our beers are hand-crafted in small batches, with great care and attention from our Head Brewer and his team. 

Lockdown and Beyond


During lockdown, we delivered cartons of our cask beers across the local area, filled straight from our casks in the brewery. At the time, with pubs closed, we were one of the only sources of true cask beer around.

Before long, this evolved into bottles, cans and mini casks, and we have been delivering our beer locally and UK-wide ever since. 

Nowadays, we're proud to offer a range of quality beers, in a range of vessels - whether it's cask, keg, can or bottle - showcasing the very best of Sussex brewing. But don't just take our word for it!
