Founder Ben Duck had already given up his career as a financial lawyer before deciding to turn the appealing mix of science and creativity he found in his homebrewing hobby into a day job. He spent a year perfecting recipes before moving into an arch below the Overground Gospel Oak to Barking line by Leyton Midland Road station.

Ben did most of the conversion and installation work himself, including designing and commissioning a miniature 2 hl brewhouse, soon upgraded to 6 hl, and, unusually for a brewery this size, a reverse osmosis filter to purify mains water. An informal taproom added in the same arch in April 2019 expanded to its own arch across the main road (155 Midland Road E10 6JT) during 2020.

In March 2023, production relocated to a new site in Tottenham, expanding at the same time. The new home is on the same industrial estate as Bohem and Redemption, next door to the unit formerly occupied by OMEBEER. The Leyton taproom has been retained.

The original Tilbury Road arch was taken over by Libertalia Brewing Co later in 2023, with plans to resume brewing.

Beers are mainly in keg, with occasional hand-bottling.
