Australian-born homebrewer Glenn Heinzel first brewed commercially under the name Tankleys (an obscure family pun) at UBREW late in 2015. A year later, fellow UBREW users Beerblefish began brewing in their own right on a larger scale at a site in Enfield, and Glenn was brought in full time to run the operations.
Glenn continued Tankleys as a side project, developing recipes on a Grainfather homebrew kit at his Sidcup home and cuckoo brewing at Beerblefish and elsewhere. In 2023 he revived his brewing license and began brewing commercially at home in spring 2024.
Initially he planned to install a larger 1.6 hl kit but following the closure of Beerblefish in early 2025, Tankleys too stopped brewing as Glenn took a full time job outside the industry. It’s possible he may return at some future stage.
Beers were mainly in cask, with some small scale bottling, sold locally and at festivals.
