The brewery produces high quality real ale and has won over 35 industry awards, including overall Champion Beer of Britain at the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) Great British Beer Festival. They attribute their success to fine ingredients, including Maris Otter Barley malted in the traditional way at Warminster Maltings.cite web|url=http://www.triplefff.com/Brewery/index.htm|title=The Triple fff Brewery|year=2005|accessdate=2008-02-23]

A recent venture has been to produce a beer from a recipe by Gilbert White, the famous naturalist born in 1720 in nearby Selborne. The recipe uses hops and smoked barley.cite web|url=http://www.triplefff.com/Brewery/Gwhite.htm|title=Gilbert White Beers|work=The Triple fff Brewery|year=2005|accessdate=2008-02-23]
