Red Rat Craft Brewery is owned by the most unlikely pairing in the history of brewing; Tony Hadley (of Spandau Ballet fame) and brewer Kevin McHenry. It is true that one of the two has never brewed a decent pint and the other can’t sing for toffee. The story began when the dynamic duo brewed a one-off beer ‘Hadley’s’ for a charity event. Several awards, a national listing in Sainsbury’s and less than 12 months later we have upgraded the brewery twice and still struggle to meet demand.  

Oh well s***t happens...

Want to show your support for our forces?

You can buy a beer for a member of our Armed Forces and leave a message of support which we will overprint on the back label. The soldier gets free beer and a donation is made to a military charity...

We specialise in custom-made beers, to our customers it’s like owning a brewery without the tax evasion. We are there to assist all the way; from the selection of hops and grain, to the designing of special labels and pump clips.

Our custom-made beers have been used to generate funds for charities and clubs as well as other businesses. At Jimmy’s Farm his own branded beers sell at 10 times the rate of his other stocked beer. (Get down there they do beer sausages too.)

On a smaller scale if you want one of our existing great beers labelled for a special and unique gift we would be happy to oblige.
