Docks Beers is an independent British brewery located in Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire. Located within a joint taproom and concert venue in the town's King Edward Street, it specialises in craft beers.
History
[edit]Docks Beers is a 25 hectolitre craft beer brewery founded in October 2018. It is based in a converted church on King Edward Street, Grimsby and close to the town's docks.[3] It is the only commercial brewery in the town.[4]
Docks Beers was supported by a £64,000 grant from start-up backers E-Factor at the time of its founding.[5]
The Docks Academy venue is located upstairs in the converted church building. It held its first gigs in 2020.[6]
In 2024, Docks Beers launched the beer Helihopter in aid of Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance, which was celebrating its 30th anniversary.[7] The brewery also launched the Docksfest music event at Cleethorpes 5,000-capacity Meridian Park open-air venue the same year.[8]
