Description
We're Hackney Brewery — a small, independent craft brewery from London who has been dedicated to producing the most progressive accessible styles of hop forward independent craft beer to high standards.

We’re passionate about producing high-quality beers which are not only flavourful and aesthetically pleasing but also suitable for anyone who is interested in trying good quality craft beer. We've spent years refining and progressing our recipes to keep up with people’s ever-changing taste.

We were founded in 2011 by Peter Hills and Jon Swain in a couple of railway arches in Haggerston, Hackney.

Over the years we’ve invested in state-of-the-art lab equipment, new machinery and we strive to continuously improve our processes and work to get the best out of our ingredients.

Now with a focus on Keg and Can formats with modern and US hop forward styles, we provide a complete core range of crafted styles from Session-able table beers, hop forward pales and IPA’s, hazy juice bombs, a multi award winning peach and basil sour and crystal clear craft lager.

In 2021 we opened our new site on the Blackhorse Beer Mile, High Hill Taproom, home to Hackney Brewery.

Half-pint on tap at Euston Tap. Shared with Finn. Spotty lacing from a low beige head, cloudy orange coloured body. Spiced malty nose. Rye bread to the taste buds slightly overrun by spices. Spiced ending as well. Drinkable, far from great. (London 22.11.2021).
