Closed brewery
16 Glenville Mews, Kimber Road SW18 4NJ (Wandsworth)
First sold beer: 29 September 2012
Brewing ceased: by December 2017
Rocky Head once claimed to be “possibly the most ramshackle brewery in the UK”, with an 8 hl kit pieced together by wine importer and former Oddbins staffer Steve Daniel and friends from bits and pieces sourced with the help of former Roosters brewer Sean Franklin, including recycled components from the demolished Tetley brewery in Leeds. It produced mainly in bottle and keg.
Despite the quality of its beers, the brewery remained a part-time business operating only at weekends, an arrangement which clearly proved unsustainable as it eventually closed in 2017. There was a suggestion it may re-emerge as a cuckoo brewer but nothing has been seen since.
