About
The Magic Spells Brewery is an independent brewery located in the heart of East London. The brewery is owned and operated by Jas Hare and Stacey Ayeh. The brewery is committed to experimenting and developing craft beer styles, flavours and recipes whilst remaining faithful to traditional Craft beer ethos. We use traditional brewing methods and technologies and use only the finest ingredients and produce.

We started brewing some 3 years ago on a plucky ½ barrel kit in Epping in Essex, where we developed our Craft Lager and Magic Spells IPA. Originally brewing for friend’s parties, mate’s bands and of course ourselves, we learned the ropes working with an array of different people. We still have the ½ barrel kit set up at our new site in East London for experimenting but the core beers are now brewed on a 10 barrel kit, whilst we upscale to meet demand.
