Tom Caxton Beer Kit Range

Tom Caxton Beer Kits

Tom Caxton beer kits – the name that all home beer makers will remember. Tom Caxton launched the “homebrew” concept and brought this fascinating hobby to the attention of the British public back in the 1970’s by a series of highly visible advertising campaigns and good distribution through High Street outlets.

Our name has always been synonymous with quality. You can trust a Tom Caxton beer kit to brew beers of the highest quality and character. This is because we do not compromise on the quality or selection of our raw materials.
