Inspired by his love of real ale and a passion for home brewing, in 2007 Scott Wayland launched his own commercial brewery using a 2.5 barrel plant in Addlestone, North Surrey. Local enthusiasm and CAMRA support for the new ales, such as the first flagship beer “Addled Ale”, grew rapidly, leading to capacity being doubled within a year to a 5 barrel set-up. By 2009 Scott decided to move home, family and business to a more rural area and, after much searching, found suitable new premises in the form of an old dairy building on a farm in Sixpenny Handley, on North Dorset's beautiful Cranborne Chase. Part of the building was rebuilt as a small shop for offsales, with the chance to try-before-you-buy. Increasing demand for the range of quality ales resulted in 2011 with the brewery quadrupling its capacity to a 20 barrel plant, requiring extensive reworking of the brewery site. Currently, Sixpenny produces a range of five regular beers, with an increasing number of seasonal and one-off specials too, plus several bespoke ales for a number of Wetherspoons pubs. A range of bottled beers was also introduced in December 2012. Sixpenny Brewery is proud that its brewery shop and bar, called “The Sixpenny Tap” has been included in the 2013 and 2014 editions of the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. Despite being one of the smallest bars in England, the Tap offers a warm welcome to all for both takeaway sales and the opportunity to sample the beers fresh from the brewery. Sixpenny is also proud of its rural location, and this is reflected in the ale branding, based on the traditional Dorset county road signs.
