Engineer Reece Wood decided to start his own brewery after completing an epic cycling trip from San Francisco to Miami, where part of the enjoyment was discovering the local beers in each new town. The name is from the business’s original location in a big and partly derelict industrial space accessed from Bianca Road in Peckham, which was also used for events.
The brewery moved in July 2017 to a more practical space with a taproom near Bricklayers Arms, just off the main Bermondsey beer drag. When this was threatened with redevelopment, Reece snapped up the current pair of arches in between Brew by Numbers and the Kernel, completing the move in April 2019.
The same PBC 25 hl brewhouse has been used at all three sites, though fermentation capacity has been increased and the team expanded, now including head brewer Tash Vine (ex-Ignition). The taproom is in a space at the front of one of the arches, with the brewhouse behind.
Beers are in keg and can – they were long contract-canned but a new canning line was delivered in October 2019.
