Closed brewery and beer firm
Original site: Harringay N4 (Harringey)
Second site: Suffolk, outside London
First sold beer: May 2021 (at original site)
Moved outside London: September 2021, ceased brewing on own kit by end 2021, company wound up January 2024.
This was originally a part-time self-built 1.5 hl nanobrewery created by homebrewer and philosopher Josh Mellor at a private address in the area known as the Harringay Ladder. Only a few months after opening, in September 2021, Josh relocated to a site in rural Suffolk, where he’s originally from. But this didn’t work out, and by late November he’d returned to London, based in Deptford. By now, he was cuckoo brewing on a larger scale.
Early in 2022, Josh began working for BBNo, which was in the process of reconfiguring its presence in Bermondsey following a major expansion to a new production brewery in Greenwich. Josh’s nanobrewery moved to BBNo’s Bermondsey arch and was used for producing BBNo specials for the taproom, though this ceased in March 2023.
Josh continued to cuckoo brew as a side project but wound up the company in early 2024.
Beers were in keg, naturally conditioned bag in box and bottle, often brewed to unusual and distinctive recipes.
