Active since: June 2018
First sold beer (from own brewery): March 2025
London-based beer writer, photographer and potter Lily Waite-Marsden began brewing in 2018 in a one-off collaboration with Marble Brewery in Manchester as part of an art project for Manchester Beer Week.
Further collabs followed, aimed at promoting greater diversity, acceptance, and visibility of LGBTQ+ people in the beer and brewing industries. Lily then began cuckoo brewing with various partners, including Affinity and Brick in London and others like Cloudwater in Manchester, winning a reputation for innovation and quality, with 10p donated to relevant charities for every can or pint sold.
For some time, the company has operated from a warehouse on the same Leyton industrial estate as Neckstamper and Nirvana, with a taproom opening intermittently from summer 2024. In October, in response to growing demand, they rented a neighbouring unit to accommodate their own 30 hl brewhouse, taking on Andy Potter, most recently at Fourpure, as head brewer.
Beers brewed in-house were available by March 2025, with the taproom also open regularly.
Beers are in can and keg, with occasional cask.
