First sold beer: March 2015 (at original site)

The arm of the ETM pub group, owned by brothers Ed and Tim Martin, began operations in 2015 with a 10 hl brewhouse from Oban Ales in a former hay store at the Park Tavern, a location that had seen brewing before but not since the 1850s. Original head brewer Vladimir Schmidt, although from the Czech Republic, was a fan of traditional English styles and the brewery initially focused on cask beers for the pub and others in the group, though some keg and hand-bottling later took place.

In July 2017, the company opened a second more central in Shoreditch, with a smaller but more sophisticated 5 hl kit and a tightly packed parade of fermentation vessels in a corner of the Montcalm Royal House hotel.

The original site was decommissioned by the end of the year and the equipment sold to Affinity: it’s still used by Three Hills. ETM sold the pub lease back to the freeholder in February 2020: the site is currrently closed and awaiting redevelopment.

Cask has been discontinued; beers are sold from tank in the bar and from keg at other outlets in the group. The lager is currently outsourced.
