Stonehenge Ales

The Old Mill is in the most idyllic setting imaginable on the bends of the River Avon.

The Old Mill started life in 1914 as an electricity generator for the Netheravon Airfield using water power from the river. In 1983 Tony and Robinetta Bunce bought the old power station and converted it into a brewery. In 1993 I, Danish Master Brewer Stig Anker Andersen, my wife Anna Marie Andersen and our 7 month old daughter Amalie uprooted from our native Denmark. We took the jump into the deep end and bought the brewery and embarked on the long, challenging road of brewing award-winning, handcrafted English beers.

Of course, we didn't go it alone - without our fantastic and dedicated team, we would never have managed to be where we are today, still running one of Wiltshire's oldest micro-breweries.

In 2015, bottling of Stonehenge Spring Water was added to our activities - and today we supply Stonehenge Visitor Centre with thousands of bottles of the most refreshing and pristine spring water from the Salisbury Plain aquifer on top of which the ancient and enigmatic stone circle rests.
