Contents

Mighty Oak was founded by John Boyce in Brentwood in Essex in 1996. It moved to the town of Maldon in January 2001, and set up in the West Station Yard industrial area, once a major local industrial area with its own railway branch line to Witham.

The brewery makes mostly ale and exports these throughout Essex, London, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Kent. [1] Many of the brewery's products are available to buy privately in different size plastic bladders up to keg size.

Boyce continues as Managing Director.

Notable Ales

Besides these, the brewery makes several other ales [7] and is committed to making several limited edition brews each month, as well as themed monthly specials - often with “amusing” names, such as Elfin Safety, Completely Conkers, Hobbit Forming and Yellow Snow. Mighty Oak has also developed a range of spirits and a liqueur.
