I’m looking for an allotment in the West Midlands that will allow me to brew beer for personal consumption?
I have approached Dudley council who say their allotments are only for growing fruit and veg, and they do not allow the production of beer. Does anyone have any contacts for private landlords for allotments, or know how I can find out this information? I live in an apartment and so don’t have any of my own land for brewing.
Thanks!
You don’t need land to brew….you don’t actually grow beer you know?
You can grow some of the raw materials for beer, such as the hops….but you still need somewhere to brew it.
Just buy a home brew kit, you can use them anywhere…even an apartment. They take up next to no room at all.
We use a corner of the airing cupboard.

you need a lock up garage with power so you can keep the wort warm. and dont tell anyone next time. no one needs to know. its only beer and not whisky distilling.

I always thought an allotment was for growing fruit and vegetables only!

Most allotment associations don’t mind what you do as long as you look after your plot and don’t interfere with the other plot holders I used to brew on the allotment and some lads used to brew 45 gallon drums of rhubarb wine they used to party all weekends they never bothered any body
