Charlie Macintosh began commercial brewing with a mission to make “modern, balanced ales that respect the ingredients and tradition” on a domestic scale, using a self-built 2 hl kit in a converted garage in Stamford Brook.

As demand grew, he began cuckoo brewing for larger runs, and as of July 2023 has set aside his home kit in favour of a long-term arrangement with Orbit. The same month he opened a taproom in a secluded yard near Abney Park Cemetery in Stoke Newington, with an adjacent space used as a warehouse and office.

The current site is slated for redevelopment, but likely not for a few more years, and Charlie retains an ambition to move to his own kit at some point.

Beers in cask-, keg- and bottle-conditioned form are made with home-crushed malt and whole leaf hops.
