Beavertown Brewery is a British subsidiary of Heineken brewery based in Tottenham, North London, England. It was acquired by the Dutch company Heineken in 2022. [1]

Beavertown was founded in 2011 by Logan Plant, the son of Robert Plant, the former lead vocalist of the English rock band Led Zeppelin. [2] The brewery's name came from the nickname for De Beauvoir Town, [3] the area of London where its first beer was brewed, [4] Duke's Brew & Que on Downham Road, London N1, and which was unexpectedly closed in 2017. [5]

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. [2] The new brewery was launched in 2020, with a capacity of 500,000 hectolitres, a ten-fold increase in their previous capacity. [6]

Beavertown currently produce mostly India pale ales (IPAs), with special seasonal beers on rotation.[ citation needed ]
