Closed brewery no longer in London
Original site: Unit 21, 43 Carol Street NW1 0HT (Camden)
First sold beer: June 2012
Ceased brewing in London: October 2013
The name Little Brew referenced both the size of the operation, a 1.5 hl kit installed in a Camden Town back street late in 2011, and the last name of founder Stu Small. He planned to supply mainly bottled beers on a very local scale, working in as sustainable a way as possible and delivering to some outlets on foot using a trolley. His logo nodded to local brewing history by featuring an elephant, the trademark of the Camden Brewery, which operated around the corner from 1859 to 1926. Some remains of this still stand today, including the bottle store and cooperage, now Elephant House.
Little Brew faced challenges sustaining production, which was suspended the next year. Stu then relocated to York and revived brewing under the same name in June 2014, but had ceased trading by autumn 2016.
