Closed brewery
4 Leyton Studios, 15 Argall Avenue E10 7QE (Waltham Forest)
First sold beer: November 2012
Ceased brewing: October 2013
A crowdfunded business that raised £15,000 online in 15 days, Brüpond produced keg and bottled beers aimed at “beer adventurers” from a 10 hl kit on a Leyton industrial estate. Brewer and founder David Brassfield was originally from Colorado and had previously been involved with small craft breweries in the US. The brewery struggled to maintain quality and despite a reformulation of the recipes in 2013 it didn’t see out the year, becoming the first but by no means the last of London’s failed crowdfunded brewing projects.
