Bateman's Lincolnshire
brewery is based in an old
windmill, dating back two
centuries, that overlooks the
River Steeping. As one of the
country's oldest family
breweries, and a rare example
of a sizeable independent
brewery that is not only
surviving, but thriving, there is
plenty to celebrate about the
success of Bateman's.
Today Bateman's is a thriving
business, with a busy visitor
centre in Lincolnshire
welcoming beer enthusiasts for
tours and to enjoy local food
with a pint or two in its busy
Windmill Bar. Its array of cask
and bottled beers is
impressive, with five core
brands in cask, all approved
by the Vegetarian and Vegan
societies.
