The Mad Yank Brewery

The Brewery, Pinner (London) HA5

Closed brewery
Pinner HA5 (Hillingdon)
First sold beer: 23 February 2019
Ceased : by March 2023

German-born former marketing specialist Larissa Graeber and her husband Grant, who came to the UK as an officer with the US Navy based in Northwood, originally planned a brewery in central with a 16 hl kit bought secondhand from Darkwave brewery in Bristol. When this fell through, they decided to convert their garden “summerhouse” in London’s far-flung northwest into a 2.5 hl facility with five fermenters from Elite Stainless Fabrications. Beers in keg and bottle were sold locally.

The bigger kit was placed in storage with plans to use it once a suitable site has been found. Progress was slowed by the 2020-21 Covid-19 lockdowns but two possible brewpub/taproom sites were under consideration in late 2021.

Sadly none of these plans came to fruition and in March 2023 the company submitted a voluntary application to wind itself up.
