When former financial specialist Francis Smedley decided to turn his passion for homebrewing into a profession, he settled on Feltham as a location with plenty of local demand but no local brewery. Reunion was up and running by the end of 2015 in a local industrial park between Hanworth Park and the Leisure West complex, using a Moeschle 16 hl brewhouse heated by a gas-fired steam boiler.
Operations expanded into a neighbouring unit in March 2018 with increased fermentation capacity, which includes square fermenters as well as cylindroconical tanks. A pleasant taproom was added on an upstairs mezzanine. By now, production was focused on “modern session beers” in cask, keg and can, the last using a mobile line.
Sadly, Reunion became the first major brewing casualty of the Covid-19 lockdowns, ceaseing to trade in August 2020.
