This document provides a partial catalogue of breweries located in England. The tradition of Beer in England dates back to prehistoric eras and has persisted without interruption. England is particularly famous for its top fermented cask beer—commonly known as real ale—which undergoes maturation within the cellar of pubs and is dispensed with natural carbonation. Contemporary developments include the merging of major brewing companies into multinational corporations, an increase in beer consumption, the proliferation of microbreweries, and a growing enthusiasm for bottle conditioned beers.

Around the year 2000, approximately 500 breweries operated within the UK; by 2015, the Good Beer Guide recorded 1,285 breweries throughout Britain. A government report from 2015 highlighted the emergence of a new brewery roughly every two days, positioning Britain as a leading force in brewing. This number expanded further to reach 1,850 breweries by 2020.
