Active since: June 2019
The brainchild of ex-Brewhouse and Kitchen brewer Stephen O’Connor and his beer sommelier wife Maryann, Common Rioters has been active as a southeast London-based cuckoo since 2019. Beers have been brewed at a variety of locations and sold through local outlets and various bars and stalls, and a popup bar at Charlton House.
In 2021, Stephen and Maryann began working on a project to open a brewpub known as the Green Goddess in a former bank building at the Blackheath Standard. This took much longer than expected, but the pub finally opened in July 2022. On opening brewing hadn’t yet commenced as some of the brewing equipment was still due to be delivered and commissioned. Brewing should start in the first half of 2023.
The brewery name refers to the successful 1876 protests opposing threatened further development of Plumstead Common.
Beers are in bottle, keg and sometimes cask, often modern twists on traditional European styles.
