First sold beer: October 2014

Unusually for the owner of a new brewery, co-founder Peter Jackson is an industry veteran, with many years at and Marston’s on his CV, including as marketing director at the latter. He created this brewery, the fifth in and the closest to central London, with the help of another long-serving industry figure, Rooster’s founder Sean Franklin, a key early UK champion of New World hops.

The biggest range of on the Bermondsey ‘mile’: brewery.

It’s rather smaller than Peter’s former employers, with a 13.5 hl brewhouse in a single arch, just behind a lively taproom which holds the welcome distinction of offering the widest choice of house-brewed beer on the ‘beer mile’.

Beers in and keg are sold relatively widely outside the brewery including in various chain pubs. They are also hand-bottled and packaged in minikeg and can, for sale mainly from the brewery itself. The names usually have a local connection.

Previously the brand Big Bear was used for some of the keg beers but this has since been dropped.
