Brew By Numbers is to open a new taproom and brewery at Morden Wharf on Greenwich Peninsula.
They will occupy a 6,000 sq ft space in a refurbished warehouse next to the River Thames, as part of the wider regeneration of the industrial site into a new mixed-use neighbourhood.
Brew By Numbers currently operates three sites at 79 & 75 Enid Street in Bermondsey and Bellenden Road in Peckham and has released more than 400 beers since its establishment in 2012.
Having secured investment through crowdfunding, it is looking to expand its food and retail offer to complement its taproom experience and create an all-day destination at Morden Wharf.
Tom Hutchings, Co-founder of Brew By Numbers, said: “We’ve spent a lot of time looking for the perfect place to deliver our long-term goal of providing one of the best drinking experiences in London. Morden Wharf is a unique site that offers us that opportunity, whilst also reflecting the industrial heritage of our current locations in Bermondsey and Peckham.”
“We are all super excited to use the additional space to expand our range and continue on our commitment to exploratory brewing with investment in new state of the art equipment.
“The views of the Thames and across south east London are incredible; giving us the perfect backdrop to summer drinking, foodie events and small beer festivals.”
Designed by acclaimed Dutch architecture firm OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture), Morden Wharf will be a thriving new urban neighbourhood centred on a new riverside park, with a mix of residential, commercial (including smaller flexible spaces for SMEs and creative businesses), retail and community space supporting around 1,000 new permanent jobs.
The Brew By Numbers taproom and brewery at Morden Wharf will sit on the site of a historic pub, The Sea Witch, that was destroyed during the Second World War. Both will offer fantastic views of the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site and Canary Wharf across the River Thames, as well as across the new riverside park and beach on the site.
The four-acre landscaped park, which runs along 275m of the River Thames at the heart of the new neighbourhood, will be open to workers, visitors and residents alike and lead directly off the Thames Path. The existing sandy beach will also be uncovered and cleaned to allow controlled access from the path for the first time.
