Curious Brewery

Curious Brewery has been crafting extraordinary beer since 2011. In May 2019, Curious Brewery opened its doors to bring brewing into the centre of Ashford, with its modern, state-of-the-art brewing facility with the capacity to manufacture 1,000,000 pints on-site a year and has scope to grow in the future. Designed by Hollaway architects, the building is visually striking close by to Ashford International Station.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have chosen Ashford as the home for our Brewery. While many breweries have migrated to out-of-town locations for cost and space reasons, we saw Ashford as the perfect fit. Not only is it well-connected, but it’s also a vibrant hub for innovation, providing small businesses like ours with ample opportunities to flourish.

Not only do Curious Brewery brew their own beers on-site, they also operate a modern dining experience in their contemporary-designed restaurant that overlooks their brewery operations. A hub for relaxation and socialising. A place to sample and enjoy the beers and food created in partnership with local Kent suppliers. Matt Anderson, Chief Operating Officer of Curious Brewery, explains further about the importance of their location in Ashford.

Being centrally located in Ashford allows us to actively engage with and contribute to the local community. Our strategic position ensures easy accessibility via road and railway networks, welcoming new customers to Curious who might not have stumbled upon us otherwise. This central location not only bolsters our business but also deepens our connections with the dynamic Ashford community.
