Closed brewpub and beer firm
184 New Cross Road SE14 5AA (Lewisham)
First sold beer: March 2017
Ceased brewing: around July 2018, active as a cuckoo until 2020.
Paddy and Joseph Ryan began this brewery in 2017 with a 50 l Braumeister kit in the cellar of their pub, the White Hart in New Cross, under the name Paddies with Attitude. It was renamed in April 2018 and soon afterwards switched to cuckoo brewing at Bianca Road to address capacity issues.
The pub was threatened by plans to convert the upper floors to flats in 2019, which the licensees argued would make it unviable. The proposal was defeated following a local campaign but the threat of revived proposals persisted, and the business closed during the 2020 lockdowns. Cuckoo brewing has also ceased as one of the partners has moved from the UK.
