ABOUT US

Tucked away in Sussex woodland, Missing Link Brewing is an ambitious microbrewery with an on-site taproom, based in the heart of the Sussex Weald on Chiddinglye Farm. The brewery and taproom sit side by side, surrounded by trees, farmland, and open paths, making the place as much about spending time here as it is about the beer itself.

We are not just another microbrewery, although we do make rather good beer. Missing Link Brewing was created to do things a little differently, with a focus on balance and quality rather than chasing trends. The taproom is central to that idea, offering a space where our beers can be enjoyed fresh, in the setting they were brewed for, without pretence or pressure.

The brewery is built around state-of-the-art brewing equipment, giving us the control and consistency needed to explore modern styles while keeping our beers balanced and drinkable. That same attention to detail carries through to the taproom, where what you drink is a direct reflection of what we care about in the brewing process. If it is not a pleasure to drink, it does not belong here.

Being based on a working farm keeps us grounded, and brewing in the Sussex Weald means we are constantly aware of the landscape around us and our place within it. The brewery and taproom are part of that environment, not separate from it, and the connection between land, beer, and people shapes the way the space feels and how we work every day.

OUR STORY

Missing Link Brewing began in 2016 as exactly that, a missing link in the brewing industry. It was born from a desire to do things differently, to question how modern craft beer was being made and shared, and to create something that felt more thoughtful, more balanced, and more connected to its surroundings.From the outset, the focus was on progress and possibility.
As the brewery grew, so did the vision. Four years later, the addition of a beautiful on site taproom marked a turning point. It gave us a place to share our beers exactly as intended, fresh from the source, enjoyed in the same landscape they were brewed in. With that came the release of our own Missing Link Brewing beers, bringing the focus firmly onto developing our brand and our voice.
