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.
Can. Black body with a thin beige head. Faint lacing. Aroma of toast, coffee grounds and brambles. Flavour of ashy malt and coffee. Thin to medium body with a watery texture. Light fizz. A straightforward, uncomplicated porter.
Part of the toast companion series. Dark brown pour with a small white head. Aromas are faint - coffee, dark choclate and cream. Tastes of coffee, toffee with a bit of a spicy aftertaste. Not bad, but a higher ABV would have carried more flavours.
Notater fra pubcrawl med Håkon og Børge, vinterferien -22. Fra fat på Baran: lett uklar strågul med utmerket skum helt ned. Mild furunål, litt krydder og engelsk appelsinmarmelade. Fin bitterhet og ganske saftig avslutning. Hint av nybakt brød helt mot slutten.
