"I met Steve Hindy and he was the owner of Brooklyn Brewery. The first time I'm at a brewery. I thought "This is cool, they're making a lager, but it's not boring and it's beautifully packaged." I came back and said that's what I want to do. So I then built a brewery in the basement of the pub out of clapped out this and that. We went from brewing one day a week to brewing seven days a week. I was never going to be the best publican in the world.  It was like an idea that just started snowballing, and rolling, and it felt right and it felt good. Even though it was a massive gamble. I've had dark days, but I've never thought of failure. I've never thought about the repercussion of things. I've learnt a lot from mistakes though. We've made plenty of them." Welcome to Episode #153 with Camden Town Brewery founder, Jasper Cuppaidge. Famous for their Hells lager, they shook up the beer industry nearly ten years ago in 2010, and very much heralded the start of the UK's beer revolution. I had an absolutely awesome day at the Camden Town Brewery, meeting Jasper, given a tour of the brewery in a bright orange smurfsuit and wellies, before finishing off by pulling my own beers from behind their bar. And the legends at Camden's even followed up by sending me a case of Stawberry Hells lager. An all-round great experience, they clearly already worked out the way to my heart.

As I said, an amazing day out at Camden's Brewery, meeting Jasper Cuppaidge, a laid-back Aussie who missed his flight back to Oz in the 90's to remain in London collection glasses in a pub. Ten years later he bought a Hampstead pub and reopened it as The Horseshoe. He brewed his first batch of beer here as a birthday present for his mother. The beer proved successful with the pub's customers and he began to sell it. Jasper began to pursue a full-time business brewing lager and by spring 2010 Camden Town Brewery officially started brewing after renting five victorian rail arches underneath Kentish Town Station in London.

Jasper Cuppaidge, founder of Camden Town Brewery, talks about the impact of his decision to sell his brand to AB InBev, the world’s biggest drinks company.

On today’s episode I’m joined by Jez Galaun and Xochitl Benjamin, two of the four founders behind South London’s Brixton Brewery. Six months previously, I had sat down for a brief chat with the same pair, before GBH broke the news that the brewery had sold a minority stake of 49% to Heineken. Now that the dust kicked up by that announcement has had the chance to settle I wanted to catch up with Galaun and Benjamin to find out how things had been going for the brewery post investment.  Brixton was the latest in a string of acquisitions and investments that demonstrated an increasing trend in the interest in the London beer market from some of the industry’s biggest players. We saw SABMiller purchase Meantime Brewery back in May 2015, before it was subsequently sold on to Asahi following SAB’s merger with Anheuser Busch-InBev, a year later. In December 2015 AB-InBev’s ZX Ventures investment arm acquired Camden Town Brewery, before also investing in its purpose built £30 million brewing facility in Enfield, North London.  Denmark’s Carlsberg also entered the fray in July 2017, when it purchased the struggling London Fields Brewery, in partnership with Brooklyn Brewery—the latter adding London Fields to its growing empire of international brewpubs. Heineken’s investment in Brixton a few months later only further served to demonstrate that London’s breweries are hot property.  This investment means that like Camden, Brixton will be able to expand into a larger facility, although on nowhere near the same scale. At its existing facility under the arches near Brixton Station—which the brewery has called home since it was founded in 2013—it was producing almost 3000hl (around 2500 US bbls) per year. When commissioned later this year, the new facility will allow Brixton to produce ten times this amount annually. But this will still keep them under the volumes of several other London breweries, including smaller independents like Beavertown and Fourpure.  The new site will also be located in the heart of Brixton itself, just 600 meters from the existing location as the crow flies. Galaun, Benjamin and I unpack the importance of this during the course of our conversation. We also discuss how the London scene is still undergoing dramatic change and whether or not that Heineken stake is evidence of an eventual path to control, as it was when they acquired Lagunitas.

In this episode we have a beer with famed beer author Pete Brown at the Camden Town Brewery in London, England, chatting about his background in marketing and beer, his latest book Miracle Brew, the Beer and Cider Marketing Awards, the craft beer and food scene in the U.K., and more.

London’s beer scene is made up of a complex tapestry of interesting folks. Like with any beer community, its people are what really makes it, and here in London, one of those people is journalist Will Hawkes. Hawkes has written about beer since 2010 for mainstream publications such as The Independent, The Washington Post, and The Financial Times as well as specialist beer mags like BeerAdvocate and All About Beer. He’s authored two books including the city beer guide Craft Beer London along with its accompanying app. And in 2013, he won the prestigious British Guild of Beer Writers Beer Writer of the Year Award. Will is also the brains behind London’s original craft beer week, London Beer City, which is now entering its fourth year this August. Full disclosure: I’m now involved with helping Will organize this year's event, and as is often the case it was this involvement that made me realize that we should sit down and record a conversation together.   As you might expect, our chat is typically London-centric as we dig into topics such as cask ale, the recent opening of Camden Town Brewery’s $40 million facility and the recent acquisition of London Fields Brewery by Carlsberg and Brooklyn Brewery.

This week in Beer is a Conversation Matt chats with the founder of Camden Town Brewery, Jasper Cuppaidge. Jasper is originally from Brisbane and found himself stranded in London during a round-the-world trip twenty-odd years ago. After taking up work in a pub in London and subsequently home brewing out of its basement, Jasper eventually acquired the venue before using it as leverage to assist with his dream brewery, Camden Town. Camden Town Brewery was bought by AB-InBev last year for a phenomenal £85m, with Jasper staying on and continuing to run the Camden Town Brewery, which this month launched its new production facility. Jasper caught up with Matt on his recent visit to the UK and discussed all things Camden Town, reflecting on how the brewery is able to maintain its integrity around the philosophical and political definitions of independence and ‘craft'. Interview recorded in London, 21 June 2017.

This week in Beer is a Conversation we chat with the founder of Lost and Grounded Brewers in Bristol (UK) Alex Troncoso, who previously worked with Little Creatures and Camden Town Breweries.  Alex Troncoso Alex was previously Head Brewer at the Little Creatures Brewery in Freemantle WA and spent over eight years with the company before being offered the Brewing and Development Director role with Camden Town Brewery in London. Shortly before the sale of Camden Town was finalised with AB-InBev last year, Alex did some travelling and soul searching in the UK with his wife, Annie, and found themselves falling in love with Bristol. After struggling to feel quite at home in London, they relocated to Bristol and ventured into the the relatively untapped craft brewing industry, establishing Lost and Grounded Brewers in early 2015. Matt caught up with Alex on his recent visit to the UK and discussed all things Lost and Grounded, recalling his brewing journey through these hugely successful companies and what it takes to establish a brewery in a fierce European market.

This week’s conversation is potentially one of the most enjoyable and insightful conversations I’ve had since I started working in beer. I spend a lot of my time chatting to brewers and bar owners, but never have I taken the time to pose questions to someone who works in the world of beer distribution. I’ve known Pete Brissenden from back when he worked for London’s Meantime brewery, way before SAB Miller and subsequently Asahi bought it out. Pete’s worked for a range of breweries over the years, from the very traditional Hopdaemon in Kent to Camden Town Brewery in its formative years.  These days he works for The Bottle Shop, a London based distributor and retailer that specializes in wholesaling craft beer. What differentiates The Bottle Shop from other British beer distributors is that 50% of its business is based on imports. In the UK The Bottle Shop is working with cutting edge breweries such as Beavertown and Cloudwater. While at the same time bringing in beers to the UK from the likes of Green Flash, Crooked Stave, Alpine and many more.  During this discussion Pete and I cover topics ranging from pricing, to the viability of imports in a post-Brexit UK economy to the health of the cask ale market here in the UK. We also dig into his history at Camden and Meantime a little, including Pete’s reaction to the latters sale to SAB Miller while he was still working there. 

Next month, the world’s current largest beer maker, AB InBev is expected to take over the world’s second largest beer maker, SABMiller. If the plan goes ahead, together they will become the world's largest brewer, making about one out of every three beers around the world. But many, craft beer drinkers especially, do not like the idea of a single company making so much of our brew. The BBC’s Manuela Saragosa asks whether their concerns are valid - or whether it is all just froth. She talks to beer writer Peter Brown and travels to a hop farm in the English countryside to see where it all begins. We head to Uganda where homemade brew is still the traditional drink of choice, and Jasper Cuppaidge from Camden Town Brewery - a London-based brewer - tells us what being taken over by a global company has done for his business. And, the BBC’s Rob Young breaks down the deal for us in the pub.

It's our anniversary show!!! Break out the beer and celebrate with us!!! We're celebrating late, like everything else on the show, and also have a late celebration of the recent Star Wars day, May the 4th (Be With You), by playing Lucasarts' Force Unleashed. Meanwhile, Goadie has some problems with his PSN account and PS Now but manages to overcome them and Dan takes to the high seas in Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. In the news, E3 starts to take shape and Ubisoft make some announcements, one that may have an impact on the industry as a whole. This evening's beverage is the special Beer 2014 from the Camden Town Brewery.

Brooklyn Brewery founder Steve Hindy sits down in London with Logan Plant, founder of Beavertown Brewery; Jasper Cuppaidge, founder of Camden Town Brewery; Roger Protz, a prolific British beer writer and editor of CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide; and John Holl, editor of All About Beer Magazine. Over a few beers, the panel discusses some major announcements in the UK beer scene, including the formation of a brand-new brewers association and CAMRA's decision to warm up to the modern craft-beer movement.

Camden Town Brewery has come a long way, very quickly. Founder Jasper Cuppaidge first started brewing beer on a small scale in the cellar of his pub, The Horseshoe in Hampstead, seven years ago. In 2010 he set up the brewery at Kentish Town West station where he produces around 60,000 pints a week. His beer is served in pubs all over London and further expansion is on the cards. Tom Boyle talks to Cuppaidge about his plans to construct a new brewery in the borough next year – the biggest to be built in the capital for 150 years.
