GIPSY HILL BREWING CO 

THE PRODUCERS

Gipsy Hill Brewing Co was founded by Charlie Shaw, Sam McMeekin and Simon Wood in 2014. Nestled at the base of Gipsy Hill, in South London, it is one of London’s largest independently-owned breweries.

 

“Gipsy Hill was born out of family. It was cobbled together by a few guys who needed something meaningful in our day to day, because time away from our new, young families had to mean something. That’s the blood that flows through our veins. Family, our team, our passion for making the best beer we can and our desire for what we do to stand for something”.

Rose’s grandfather started our dairy in 1950 and it converted to being organic in 2001. They felt it a crying shame that this beautiful organic milk was being hauled away and mixed with the milk of many other farms before it was dispersed into the market. They thought that the animals, and their milk, deserved greater appreciation and so they set about creating Nettlebed Creamery.

Rose founded the business in 2015 and it has since won many awards, including Super Gold at the World Cheese Awards, and Best Organic Cheese and Best Soft White at the British Cheese Awards.

Waterloo is a mild, semi-soft Guernsey milk cheese with a buttery flavour , made using a wash curd method which dilutes the acidity to achieve a soft, gentle flavour.
