Sambrook's Brewery in Battersea, London started brewing in 2008. It was founded by former city accountant Duncan Sambrook. Amongst those who helped were David Welsh, the former managing director of Ringwood Brewery.

A brewery is a place that makes and/or sells beer. Sambrook's brewery came about when Two of Duncan’s; the founder of Sambrook's brewery, university friends were searching the list of beer but they were looking for a beer brewed in London but they couldn't find one so then they made a plan to bring brewing back to London by starting their own brewing company.Brewing in London has boomed since the opening of Sambrook's. When the company was launched in 2008 it was the first new brewery in London for a decade. Today there are 78 breweries in the city.

Duncan Sambrook used to work at Deloitte as a business manager. He left Deloitte in 2008 to launch his first brewery. He did have some struggles with starting a brewery but seven years later his brewery is a success. Duncan grew up in Wiltshire and played rugby. He says that he always had an interest in beer and he's always had an interest in setting up his own business so starting a brewery was the perfect opportunity for him. The type of beer he wanted was simple yet difficult to get it right.

Beer is consumed all over the world and is the oldest alcoholic beverage. Beer is made by the fermentation of starches. They are mostly made with hops which add the bitterness and they also act as a natural preservatives. Beer is one of the oldest prepared beverages it dates back to 9500 BC around the same time cereal was farmed which is used in the fermentation process of beer. Almost any substance containing sugar can naturally undergo alcoholic fermentation. It is likely that many cultures, on observing that a sweet liquid could be obtained from a source of starch, independently invented beer.The purpose of brewing is to convert the starch source into a sugary liquid called wort and to convert the wort into the alcoholic beverage known as beer, in a fermentation process effected by yeast. Beer has been brewed in England for hundreds of years and England is also known as a beer brewing country. Beer was one of the most common drinks during the Middle Ages. They are know for their real ale. This beer is different because it finishes it fermentation process in the basement of a pub or bar instead of at a brewery. It is also served naturally carbonated. Beer was a common drink in the Middle Ages and it was consumed by all social classes. Beer was common because it was rare to find clean drinking water. It was also brewed at the same place that it would be sold. Beer was more commonly used for daily calorie intake.

Types of Beers
There is actually many types of beer. There are ales which are brewed with top fermenting yeast at cellar temperature. They also have a fruit or spice finish and often darker than lagers.

These are just some of the different types of beers in the world and they all have different types of brewing processes.

Brewing Process
The brewing process has a few different steps.The first step is milling and in this process is to ensure the grains are ready. This is an important step and is to ensure that the results are a good beer. The process is to crush the grains enough to see the starchy centers. Then comes mashing where the grains are mixed with hot water and turn into a mash. In this process the heat from the water activates the enzymes with the barley. They then begin to convert the starches in the grains into sugars. Next is lautering, in this process the mash is transferred to a vessel with a bottom called a later turn. In this vessel the clear wort is drained. The last few steps are boiling, fermentation, conditioning and packing then the beers get sold.Sometimes they are sold from the brewery other times they are sold at pubs/bars.
