First sold beer: July 2024

is a popular Clapton bar and music venue opened by sisters Sharmaine and Verity Cox in 2016. The sisters always planned to add their own brewery but struggled to find a site: plans for a railway arch in fell through in 2019 and the lockdowns frustrated further progress.

Blondie’s in yuletide mode.

In summer 2023, the bar began stocking a lager and session IPA cuckoo brewed at Mammoth, and on 18 August 2023 the bar at a new brewery and taproom site finally opened in a former furniture factory space a short distance from the river Lea at Leyton.

A 10 hl brewhouse sourced from was installed with the assistance of Mammoth, but a combination of paperwork and practical issues delayed commissioning. Test brews were successfully completed in December 2023 and commercial followed in mid-2024.

Beers are initially in keg only, sold onsite and at the bar, though there are plans to expand production to distribute the beers more widely and possibly add a canning facility.
