The Rookery Barn, 40 Streatham Common South, Streatham, SW16 3BX, England
Description
Two years of cuckoo brewing at a friends brewery (thank you Mr. Bob) and sales in London led to two big life changes; Time to find a home for Inkspot.
Finding a barn sheltered within the Rookery garden, a conservation area on Streatham Common, was incredible. Overwhelming local support for the brewery project led to planning permission being granted & three years of work transforming a tired barn into a working brewery.
The Rookery is such a local treasure, every step of the project had to be carefully considered & sympathetically delivered. It was no easy task, but we have finally completed and Inkspot beer is in the tanks.
