Help us celebrate Batemans’ 150th birthday, known as a ‘sesquicentennial’.
In 2024, we will mark Batemans Brewery’s 150th year. We’ve come a long way since our great grandparents George and Suzannah began brewing beer in their kitchen for the thirsty Lincolnshire farm workers. Batemans has since become synonymous with quality craft brewing, with skills passed down through generations of our family. Our loyal following keeps growing because of the innovations we continually make and the new brews we develop.
NEW BREWS
What better way to celebrate our 150th than by introducing a new brew to the Batemans’ lineup? Our head brewer, Buster, has been busy working on something extraordinary to commemorate our sesquicentennial. The beer has now been launched, and its name, ‘Five Generations’ (5G) marks an historic moment of five generations of the Batemans family.

Now you can read about the 150 year history of Batemans Brewery.
In 2024 the determinedly independent Lincolnshire brewing firm of Batemans will celebrate its 150th anniversary. Nestling beside the Steeping River in the little town of Wainfleet, Batemans’ Salem Bridge Brewery forms a quintessential English scene – including an ivy-covered old windmill whose image is Batemans’ symbol to this day.
A family business throughout all that time, Batemans has grown from small beginnings to become justly famous for their award-winning ‘Good Honest Ales, which are mainly available in the East Midlands, Yorkshire and East Anglia.
Along the way they have met and overcome many obstacles. This richly illustrated and thoroughly researched book takes you through the full story of Batemans, blending history with recollections to produce a fitting tribute to this unique firm.
