First sold beer: September 2011 (at the Bull)
Dan Fox, former manager of legendary beer pub the White Horse, took over Highgate pub the Bull in 2011, establishing the London Brewing Co with a 4 hl kit in the kitchen. As demand for the beer outside the pub increased, Dan began looking for a second site with more room for a brewery, finding the Bohemia in North Finchley, a big pub that had been an O’Neill’s, a furniture shop, a supermarket and a squat.
The Bohemia reopened in June 2014, though the new 10 hl kit in a convenient lower-level area at the back wasn’t commissioned until early in 2015. London Brewing operated at both sites until July 2016 when the Bull was sold to new owners, who have restarted brewing under the name Gorgeous in new accommodation in the garden.
Dan himself moved on in summer 2017 to take over the Arnos Arms, leaving the Bohemia in the hands of business partner Senan Sexton. Brewers have included Daniel Vane (co-founder of Exale) and US-born Rich White; current head brewer is Rich’s former assistant George Boustred.
Beers are in cask, keg and can, sold through the pub and elsewhere.
