Brilliant Bristol Breweries to Try (and Gift!) This Summer

Brilliant Bristol Breweries to Try (and Gift!) This Summer

When it comes to top-notch brews, Bristol isn’t just holding its own, it’s raising the bar. The city’s packed with brilliant independent breweries, each with their own flavour, flair and fiercely local following. At Boxlocal, we’re proud to showcase some of the best in our hampers.

Whether you're planning a chilled summer BBQ, a garden catch-up, or sending a gift that says “cheers!”, these Bristol beers are full of character, crafted with care, and delivered with love.

Wiper and True, St Werburghs

Born in a garage and now brewed in one of Bristol’s most impressive taprooms, Wiper and True are a big name in the city’s craft beer scene, and for good reason. Based in St Werburghs, they’re known for their flavour-forward, beautifully branded beers.

From the crisp, easy-drinking Kaleidoscope Pale Ale to the bold and hoppy Sundance IPA, their brews are designed for sunny days, good food, and great company. You’ll find their beers nestled in some of our most popular hampers for beer lovers.

Bristol Beer Factory, Southville

Down in Southville, Bristol Beer Factory have been doing things their own way since 2004. What started in a former milk bottling plant is now one of the city’s best-loved breweries.

Their Infinity Helles Lager is a total crowd-pleaser; zesty, hoppy and refreshing. A proper local classic. Their beers make a brilliant addition to any Boxlocal hamper, especially when paired with savoury nibbles and a sunny spot in the garden.

Lost and Grounded, Central Bristol

Precision meets creativity at Lost and Grounded. Since 2016 this Central Bristol brewer has been blending German clarity with Belgian complexity, making some seriously remarkable beers.

Whether it’s a crisp lager or a rich saison, every bottle instantly screams: “Fresh, thoughtful, local.” We regularly include them in our build-your-own beer boxes, worth seeking out if you’re after something special.

Twisted Oak Brewery, Wrington, North Somerset

Just a short drive away, Twisted Oak is actually a hidden gem of the West Country, but when we say they’re local, we mean properly local. Their Leveret IPA is described as “un-faultable”: tropical, juicy, and beautifully balanced with a malty biscuity finish.
Crafted with 100% renewable energy and sustainably minded ingredients, this is beer you can feel good about, and we stock it individually for build-your-own hampers.

Local Beer, Boxed Up and Ready to Gift

Supporting Bristol’s breweries has never tasted so good. Whether you’re treating a beer lover, celebrating something special, or just fancy a taste of the city yourself, our curated hampers are packed with local brews, savoury snacks and all-round good vibes.

Choose from our brilliant Bristol beers, handpicked extras, and thoughtful little touches. We’ll wrap it up, pop in a personalised note, and deliver it straight to your door, or the door of your lucky recipient!
