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.

Bottle at partizan last saturday. Pour is slightly hazy golden yellow with a thin white head. Aroma is earthy spice yeast notes with hay and some nuts. The flavour follows a little cirus / orange as well. moderately dry finish. Very tasty, but the glaxy session has a bit more going on. Nice example of 3711

Bottle at the brewery last Saturday. Pours hazy golden yellow with a thin white head. Nice squishy fruit tropical aroma, some spicy yeast notes. Some oats. Flavour is not too dominated by the piny and tropical fruit hops the spicy earthy yeast comes through as well wyeast 3711 i believe. Dry finish, but could be a little drier. Solid bitterness. A Very tasty beer. Pretty sessionable as well.
