This “American brewery in London” (thus the name, a reference to the film An American Werewolf in London) is the brainchild of US expat and former London Brewing head brewer Rich White. Cuckoo brewing started at Little Creatures early in 2020 but plans for a site were disrupted by the lockdowns.
The first commercial beers flowed at the end of the year from a pilot kit installed in the cellar of Kentish Town pub the Rose and Crown, and in 2021 the project successfully crowdfunded for a move to its own arch under the London Overground close to Camden Road, with its own haunted train ride rescued from a derelict theme park.
Follwing a one-off opening for Hallowe’en 2021, installation was completed in early 2022 and brewing commenced at the end of February. The 8 hl brewhouse was previously at the Prince, but new fermenters have beenadded. The taproom opened fully on 1 April.
Beers are in keg and can.
