It’s great when someone tries our beers for the first time. We have always believed that our beers should be available to as many people as possible and as such we have never included animal products in any of our beers. We want all people to be able to join the Real Ale/Craft beer movement and enjoy our beers.
We are now registered with the vegan society.
It is not everyday you find that you have been mentioned on Bloomberg, and delightfully named no less:

A quick update for you. Last night we tested the elements in the copper, checked the water tightness of the kettle and FV1.
All was good.
All that is left to test are the elements in the HLT and get some electrics run across the Unit and we will be in a position where we can brew some beer.
Just one more thing … well, two really … I need to build a steam condenser for the copper and a grist hydrator.
How much longer till the brewery is completed I hear you all cry?
Not long now. We have a few things to finish off:
As I say not long now, I am as excited as a small child at Christmas, and really can’t wait to do the first brew.
The malt and hops from the lovely people at Crisps and Charles Faram were delivered last week.
Having had the freezer delivered last week I quickly moved the hops upstairs into the freezer. But the problem still stood how was I going to get a tonne and a bit of malt upstairs. The answer was call in the troops, thank you to Bethany, Darci, Paul, Tom 1 and Tom 2, for coming down on Saturday and helping shift it all upstairs.
Here it is all neatly stacked up.
We took the long weekend and got a few things done down at Beerblefish HQ, we have painted the walls, swept and mopped the floors, made 4 visits to IKEA, and a few more to Tesco. We now have a set of mugs for tea, a kettle to make tea, seats to sit in while thinking and drinking the tea, and a table to place out biscuits and cups on during the periods of thinking in between the drinking of tea.
After the weekend (we also have a table between the benches now):
Enormous announcement time! After a massive search far and wide, we finally have our own home in Edmonton, North London. Watch this space for news of how the brewhouse is developing – in the meantime, we’ll still be brewing in Bermondsey!
Here are a couple of Day 0 pics:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.
I have been busy with the old laptop, designing some beer bottle labels. It took a bit of effort and vocal encouragement for it all to line up, but finally I got something I was happy with; and the wife approved of. Then to the laser printer, print it out and glue it onto a bottle of our fine Bloodletter IPA Test Batch 3.
Now all that remains is to sit down in front of the TV and drink some beer out of a labelled bottle 🙂
We are getting the R&D machine into full flow, I will be brewing every weekend from now until middle of October. I may be slightly bad at keeping the posts coming, but will try to keep the updates flowing.
Two exciting things happened this lunch time:
1. I had a delicious Porter and Massaman Curry in the Thai pub round the corner;
2. The business cards finally appeared, this is good they have The Beerblefish Logo on them and he looks happy 🙂
