2015
It all started
over a pint
Way back when, our two founder brothers chatted to an elderly gent in their local pub who mentioned to them that in years gone by, there was once a microbrewery in the tiny village in which they grew up. No one knew precisely where.

Later in 2015
encoder is born
Inspired, we started brewing in our cellar. Developing our first beer under a cloak of secrecy, we decided that if we ever set up a brewery, we’d call it Encoder.

WE HAVE LIFT-OFF
We invested in a bigger, shinier brew kit in a bigger premises in the heart of the countryside and sold our first batch of beer. Then the second. And the third…we had a beer that people loved drinking.
