Beavertown Brewery

Beavertown Brewery is a British brewery based in Tottenham, London. It was acquired by Heineken in 2022.

Beavertown was founded in 2011 by Logan Plant, the son of Robert Plant, singer with Led Zeppelin. The brewery's name came from the nickname for de Beauvoir Town, the area of London where its first beer was brewed, Duke's Brew & Que on Downham Road, London N1, and which was unexpectedly closed in 2017.

In June 2018, it was announced that Heineken would be buying a minority stake, so that Beavertown could spend £40 million on a new brewery and visitor site. The new brewery was launched in 2020, with a capacity of 500,000 hectolitres, a ten-fold increase in their previous capacity.

Beavertown currently produce mostly IPAs, with special seasonal beers on rotation.
