About
Beavertown was founded in 2011 by Logan Plant, the son of Robert Plant, singer with Led Zeppelin. At first established as a brewpub in De Beauvoir Town, East London as part art of the Duke's Brew and Que experience. Expanding means moving! In 2012 to Hackney Wick and in 2014 to Tottenham Hale.
In June 2018, it was announced that Heineken would be buying a minority stake, so that Beavertown could spend £40 million on a new brewery and visitor site. The new brewery was launched in 2020, with a capacity of 500,000 hectolitres, a ten-fold increase in their previous capacity.
As of 7 September 2022 Heineken has taken complete control of Beavertown and now has 100 per cent ownership. Founder Logan Plant will stay on as an adviser.

Slightly hazy yellow/orange pour with a stable white head. Aromas of malt/grain, mango, grapefruit and passion fruit. Taste is similar, adding some sweet citrus and herbal notes - decent bitter finish.

Die Optik gibt sich in einem hellen und opaliszierendem Goldgelb. Die weiße, feinporige Schaumkrone verhält sich dabei wässerig-flaumig und mäßig gut haltbar. Im Duft vernimmt man frische, fruchtige, leicht grüne bis herbale und zartwürzige Noten, sowie einen Hauch Pinie, ohne harzig zu wirken. Eine vegetative Note schwingt dabei jedoch auch mit. Der Antrunk kommt sehr frisch, angenehm spritzig und grünfruchtig-herb bis deutlich bitter. Im Mund zeigt sich ein schöner Körper mit angenehmer Fülle, feiner Rezenz, seidiger Textur und guter Trockenheit. Was Geschmack und Aroma betrifft, setzt sich bereits Erwähntes fort... leichte Grasigkeit, leicht vegetative Noten, leichte Zitrusaromatik, grüne Fruchtnoten, subtile Süße, leichte Säure und deutliche Bitterkeit. Das ergibt ein gutes, aber bei weitem nicht überwältigendes Gesamtbild. Den Trinkfluss würde ich dabei als durchwegs gut einstufen. Im Nachtrunk halten die leicht malzigen und fruchtig-herben Noten gut und lange an und machen erst nach einer guten Weile den Rückzug zugunsten einer fruchtigen, grünen Hopfenaromatik. Mein Fazit: Ganz gut, jedoch mit einer leichten Einschränkung in Bezug auf die vegetative Note, welche die Harmonie leider etwas in Mitleidenschaft zieht.

I had the 2024 version. Straw, clear, rachitic foam. Delicate notes of red orange in aroma. Semi-dry, lemony, a bit of ice tea in the taste, no orange. Medium bitterness, grapefruit, slightly rough. I was disappointed. It makes me want to say: Bloody 'Ell!

Can from the bargain bin at Waitrose, West Byfleet. Aroma has musty coffee and light berries. Slightly creamy edge. Dark and glossy, if thin of appearance. Thick foamy light beige head. Initial coffee bitterness. Sour berry edge. Molasses sweetness appears into the finish. Medium-heavy bodied. Slick-oily. Average-soft carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Nice enough but lacking oomph.
