8 Sail Brewery

8 Sail Brewery has an enviable location being under the operational 8 sailed windmill at Heckington. The five barrel brewery was founded in 2010 and continues to brew in the traditional English ale style. The majority of the malts used are locally grown and malted. Some of the malts are even crushed in the adjoining windmill which is a unique feature.

The brewery has a tap bar with plenty of outdoor seating in the shadow of the windmill which is an excellent place for a session. If you have never been, I highly recommend heading over as it’s well worth the journey. You can also go in the Windmill and there is a café on site (useful for bribing your designated driver). Look at the windmill website for details.
