Tottenham Hale’s Beavertown expects to move to a new site in the summer of 2019, and will brew some Gamma Ray and Neck Oil volumes at Brouwerij De Brabandere in Belgium over the next 18 months during the transition period.
The new operation, Beaverworld, will be a “large-scale production facility and visitor experience”.
“We are aiming to build one of the world’s best beer/brewing experiences all within this great city of London enabling us to bring more drinkers into the world of Beavertown, to entertain and stimulate and let people see what we do, how we do it and why we do it first-hand,” says Logan Plant, founder of Beavertown.
To aid the transition, the business has taken the decision to brew some of its Gamma Ray and Neck Oil beer at Brouwerij De Brabandere in Belgium.
He explained on their site: “We have taken what we’ve learned about brewing at our friends Redchurch and we’re upscaling it. As part of the transition on to a much larger brew house we have reached an arrangement to brew a little more beer at Brouwerij De Brabandere in Belgium. Brouwerij De Brabandere have been family owned and operated for 5 generations since 1894 and come with a great pedigree of producing great beers from their Petrus Traditional and Petrus Sour range to their hero beer Bavik Pils.
“Over the course of the next 18 months, brewing with Brouwerij De Brabandere will allow us to organically grow the amount of beer available to the trade, but also, very importantly, will mean that when Beaverworld is fully operational we will have spent serious time learning how to brew on a kit the same size and specification as we are investing in, helping us to transition seamlessly into our new home and hit the ground running.
“The beers brewed at Brouwerij De Brabandere will be kegs of our two most in demand brews, Gamma Ray and Neck Oil. These will both be brewed using the exact same ingredients (that we will be shipping over), to the exact same specifications and brewed and monitored by Team Beaver.”
