Last month, Beavertown opened the doors on its new London brewery.
The facility, which will create up to 150 jobs, will enable the brewery to produce up to 500,000hl and to brew in 150hl batches, equivalent of 90,000,00 pints per annum, on its Krones brewhouse.
It also boasts a complete KHS, which has the capacity to fill up to 30,000 cans per hour in 330ml format, and a KHS keg line that can fill up to 160 kegs per hour in 30l format and the ability to be expanded in the future to an ultimate capacity of 240 kegs per hour.
The opening of Beaverworld is the latest stage in the brewery’s journey, which started back in 2012.
And the brewery build was a major undertaking at any point in time, it just so happened those involved had a global pandemic to navigate during the project, too.
In this podcast, we visit Beaverworld to speak to founder Logan Plant and lead brewer Chris Lewington about the brewery’s exciting new capabilities, the hurdles the team have overcome on the way and the changing role Beavertown is playing in the wider beer sector.
