Moles Brewery is a brewery established in 1985, producing real ales at their facility in Melksham, Wiltshire, England.

Originally a mineral water company in rural Wiltshire, the company developed specific real ales to diversify their business; a custom-built 10-barrel plant was installed in the brewhouse at Bowerhill, Melksham. At the same time the new business was named Moles Brewery, inspired by the new owner's nickname.

Moles Cask Bitter was the brewery’s first real ale offering: an all-malt brew, with no sugars added.

In October 1985, Moles Brewery purchased the freehold of the Rising Sun on Bowden Hill in Lacock. A decision was taken in the early 1990s that would provide Moles Brewery with its own tied estate. Seven pubs were acquired.

A new brand came in 1995, with the introduction of Black Rat cider.
