Mighty Oak Brewery

Mighty Oak Brewing Co Ltd is a small brewery located in the town of Maldon, Essex.

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 to not only Maldon but across a larger region as far as Colchester. Mighty Oak has won many CAMRA awards. 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.
