## About

Owned by SAB.

The Fransen Street Brewery was opened 16 years ago as a special development brewery, testing new products and raw materials and producing small scale runs of special interest beers. Four products were taken to market – a wheat beer, ginger beer, winter, and India pale ales – but were ahead of their time. “In the early 2000s, the Kingswood brand of speciality beers was launched – a brandy flavoured beer in a bottle and a nitrogenated ale on tap - but once again, we had created a product which the market was not yet ready for.

In 2012, SAB recognised the global and local growth in speciality and craft beers and redeveloped the Fransen Street Brewery, taking it back to its original intentions.
