Whether it’s Hackney Wick or Bermondsey you can hardly move in London without stumbling over a microbrewery these days. And the popularity of craft beer means some of them are not quite so micro.

 

Since Logan Plant started home-brewing in his kitchen he has had to move three times to accommodate his growing business. From its first home in the kitchen of Duke’s Brew and Que in Hackney, Beavertown brewery has increased its production almost tenfold and relocated, via a stint on Fish Island, to an 11,000 sq ft space in Tottenham Hale.

 

Plant says: “To go from my kitchen to Duke’s and then to brewing at the current site and exporting to 20 countries in just three-and-a-half years is a pretty big jump.” 

 

It should be noted that he is from ambitious stock, being the son of Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant, and his love of beer was born from growing up in the Black Country.“Dad dragged me around the pubs when I was a kid and now we drink together and love beer together. In the Black Country the pub is an extension of the home.”
