I missed the original announcement at the end of August (see James Beeson in The Grocer) but thanks to the indefatigable Beer Guide London I note that at some point early in 2025 Brixton Brewery is to move production to Beavertown in Ponders End.
For those who think there is something of a difference between North and Sarf London its concerning. Both breweries are owned by global big beer outfit Heineken and such companies only real focus is the bottom line not where the beer is brewed or indeed the jobs of those that brew it.
The official reason is that Brixton want to expand production but can’t do so on their current site. They will reportedly maintain a facility for small batch brews in Brixton much as Camden, also based at Ponders End have with their original site.
Brixton branded beer brewed in Ponders End doesnt sound quite right but as above Big Beer really could not care less about that.
