Deviant & Dandy

Deviant & Dandy,

Closed brewery
185 Nursery Road E9 6PB (Hackney)
First sold beer: 30 January 2018
Ceased : 4 November 2023

This intriguingly named outfit at one end of ’s ‘beer row’ was the second brewery co-founded by US exile Byron Knight, who previously helped set up Beavertown. Byron was the original ‘deviant’ while another founding partner, Rupert Selby, was the ‘dandy’, but day-to-day running later passed to another co-founder, Ben Taub.

At first, beers were cuckoo brewed at Enfield, starting in 2017, with the current railway arch site, equipped with a new 16 hl brewhouse from Oban Ales, launching the following year.

Following the financial challenges of the Covid-19 lockdowns and their aftermath, the brewery closed its doors later in 2023.

Beers were in keg, and in can using a mobile line.
