First sold beer: 16 June 2018
This handsome brewpub in two railway arches on Hackney’s ‘brewery row’ was co-founded by head brewer Ryan Robbins, originally from Missouri, who oversees a 20 hl automated brewhouse from German suppliers Braukon, complete with water purifier and grain mill.
The operation was originally known as St John at Hackney after the nearby church but changed its name to avoid confusion with the St John restaurant. Several of the people involved, though, are connected to the church, and the business to provide community benefits through apprenticeships and charitable work around issues like local homelessness.
Most beers are in keg and can and sold both on site and elsewhere.
