Description
Our journey began with the end of founder and owner Andy Smith's former career in fine dining. An avid home-brewer, Andy sought to make fresh exciting beer that was difficult to find here in the UK. A move from his home town of Leeds to London soon presented the opportunity to work with Andy Moffat at Redemption Brewing in Tottenham. Here he studied and learned to ply his trade as a professional brewer whilst making many friends and contacts in the fast growing UK beer scene. In 2012, one of these friends, Evin O'Riordain of The Kernel Brewery kindly offered to pass on their original brew kit as the Kernel embarked upon expansion. A short time later, some premises secured just down the railway line, and Kernel and Partizan were established as neighbors; so the brewery was born.

The brewery relocated late 2017 from Almond Road to its current location.

Today

Ten years later and much like other small breweries across the UK Partizan has faced tough trading conditions; namely the lasting effects of the pandemic, soaring inflation and increasing rent. To both protect Partizan and avoid chasing inflation and increasing prices, the brewery moved its production out of London in 2023 to a farm in Market Harborough in rural Leicestershire, locating it at long-time friends, Langton Brewery.

We are now expanding the brewery here, on the farm. By Spring 2024 we will have a new fermenter hall and a greater capacity than we ever had in London which will allow us to brew exciting new beers and to collaborate with old friends and new. Despite the draw of the countryside our roots are still in London and we will continue to meet the demands of our customers in the city that we still call home.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, deep orangey, dark golden colour, a handful of macropore white bubbles on top. Melow malty and slightly fruity aroma, hints of marzipan, tart-ish, vinous fruity and minimally tangy overtones, a touch of white grapes, white wine and vinegar. Taste is mellow malty and minimally tart, vinous fruity, hints of white grapes, white wine, subtle grape sugar sweetness. Oily to viscous texture, soft palate, soft to flat carbonation. Refreshing fruitiness, but quite insipid character overall.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at Clapton Craft. Pours totally clear, very pale yellow with a frothy, pure white head. Has crispy pale cereal, nips of bitter hay, lime peel accents. Light bodied with massaging carbonation. Fairly clean in the finish, restrained sweetness, more dried cereal, citrus peel bitterness. Not bad.

Just one rating of this London stalwart brewers apa. How times change! Just a light haze on this gold beer, small but tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, a decent fine minerally crispness. Thin malts, reasonably sweet. Hops bring a pleasant minerally light and slightly tangy piney mellow grapefruit and tangerine. Trace of hop spice. Light dry minerally finish. Tidy.

Vague hops? Huh?! Well at least it’s an opportunity to try the seldom seen Brit hop Pilgrim. Enjoy it whilst you can before the clown local governments concrete over what’s left of our countryside. Morons. Almost clear gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and mildly dry, a light minerally carbonation. Thin but reasonably sweet malts. A modest minerally seltzer. Hops bring light pine, very light citrus and a whisper of something pear like. Modest bitterness on the finish. Too light in most areas for me. Session IPAs mostly suck IMO.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Clapton Craft. Pours clear yellow-gold with a frothy, pure white head. Moderate saison yeast present, lots of lemongrass, oily citrus peel, mild bitterness, wheat flakes. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Finishes with more citrus peel, lemongrass, wheaty accents. Enjoyable.
