A word from our founder and MD….

The UK beer scene is changing.  In the past two weeks we’ve seen some pretty huge announcements and all seem to be related to Crowdfunding.  Crowdfunding sites clearly state any investment is at risk which I’m sure mitigates any responsibility on their part should the business miss-manage the funds and, as we’ve seen this week, money raised for one thing is spent in other areas.  My prediction is we’ll see more and more beer related businesses having used equity crowdfunding, fall short and close their doors leaving investors scratching their heads and wondering where their hard-earned money has gone for that portion of an over-inflated, over-valued business.

Back in 2018 we did crowdfund to upgrade our community lead tap room and make it a better and more accessible space for everyone. But in doing so, we chose the rewards route rather than equity, because we wanted people to feel a part of a specific project that was going to take place at a specific time and get their returns immediately and to be honest, without risk.  The rewards were of all different scales and sizes such as doubling donations in beer tabs, purchasing merchandise and experiences, all of which have been enjoyed by numerous people not just locally but across the country too. It gave us an opportunity to engage more directly with people who have supported us since the beginning and give them on some occasions, something unique for them to enjoy as a big thank you.

We at Brick pride ourselves in our independence.  We’ve grown steadily and carefully, budgeting, buying new equipment when needed, not when it would be nice to have.  We’ve built a solid workforce of dedicated and talented people.  We remain a family business and intend on keeping it that way by reinvesting back into the business.  Of course the temptation is strong to have the newest, shiniest, biggest, fastest brewery and in some ways running a crowdfunding campaign would be an easy path to get there but we’re not about easy.  We are dedicated to our craft and dedicated to the business.  We won’t cut corners or compromise.  We’ll build this business piece by piece and Brick by Brick.

Lime and Habanero Pale Ale, 4.4%

Brick Brewery has always had a personal affiliation with Mexico and the flavours of Central America. Ian once owned and ran a Mexican street food truck before starting Brick and many of the team have travelled extensively throughout that area of the world, bringing back fond memories of food and flavours. We’ve finally put this nostalgia into a beer with the release of our latest special beer; Lime and Habanero Pale Ale.

Using HBC 472 hops, an experimental Neomexicanus hop, its aroma this hop brings are considered unique additions to a beer. Initially earthy with notes of coconut, the finish delivers a surprisingly fruity note, perfect for adding depth of flavour.

Commonly used in Mexican cooking, fresh habanero chillies were to the whirlpool and FV to impart their sweet, fruity and mild spice flavour. The addition of fresh lime zest adds a refreshing lift to the hops and mild spice to bring a recognisably Mexican flavour. Using primarily HBC 472 hops has resulted in a Pale Ale that has a juicy, tropical fruit flavour with very little bitterness.

Lime and Habanero Pale Ale will be available for trade sales Tuesday 22nd April and launched at the Taproom Sunday 5th May.

Cinco de Mayo

To coincide with the launch of our Lime and Habanero Pale Ale, we are a Cinco de Mayo day on 5th May. A celebration of Mexican heritage, there will be loads of activities and entertainment throughout the day for all the family:

Stone Fruit and Amarillo Sour, 4.0%

The newest release in our Sour Series, this Stone Fruit and Amarillo Sour using the stone fruit flavours of peach, mango and apricot this beer is fruity, juicy and tart. Dry-hopped with Amarillo hops results in a big hoppy, bitter finish that stops the beer from being too sweet and remains sessionable.

Using a new local artist for these label designs, we sat down with graphic designer and student Karthik Sowbaghyanathan to find out a bit more about himself and how he created this beautiful label for us!

Tell us a bit about yourself, Karthik…

My name is Karthik (well, actually I have a 13-letter first name and a 15-letter last name) and I am a designer, currently doing my MA in graphic communication design at Central St. Martins. I did bachelors in engineering and so my practice mostly involves a combination of the two. I dabble with illustrations on the side. My other interests include all things pop culture and it also shapes the way that I work and live. I also did quite a bit of theatre during my bachelors and that’s where my interests in telling narratives through design started.

What is your background and where did you grow up?

I am from Chennai, India and live there for 21 years of my life before moving to London for my Masters. It is a lovely city, with a lot of eclectic cultures. I lived in the same neighbourhood all my life and it has shaped my life tremendously and is always a place of comfort.

What does a typical day look like for you…

A nice breakfast with some really strong coffee to kickstart my day. I usually tend to always be in Uni since I find it much easier to work there. It’s a 20-minute walk from where I live and I absolutely love that. Then it’s a 7-hour juggle between my course work and all the freelance projects that I have. My evenings are spent usually hanging out with friends or just being on YouTube for hours together. And before I know it, it’s 2am and time for bed.

How do you like to work?

I aim to invoke some sort of response from the viewer through my work. I love to use narratives in my work and trying to weave stories around it. Collaboration is something that I value a lot and I try to make the most of collaborations every chance I get. I usually try to bounce ideas off my friends before I jump into realising them. I also have a firm belief in design being used a medium for intervention rather than problem solving and I try to incorporate this belief in every personal project that I do.

p.s: I have the odd habit of working with my headphones on but not listening to any music because I like how it dampens all the noise around me.

What/who inspires you and your work?

Pop culture has had a major influence on my work. I got into design after being inspired by design in pop culture from simple movie posters, or set designs or even props like those designed by Annie Atkins. I usually go on random walks around London during the weekend and they end up inspiring me in the most interesting ways possible.

Where or what is your favourite spot in South East London?

Aah, living in North London, I haven’t had a chance to visit as many places in South/South East London as I would’ve liked to, but there are certain places that I love going back to. I love the markets in Brixton for their culture and the amazing food. I always love a good walk along the southern bank of the Thames. Peckham Plex is always a good bargain everytime I want to watch a movie but don’t want to spend much!

Stone Fruit and Amarillo Sour will be available in keg and can exclusively at our Taproom this Friday 19th April before general release next week.

From Thursday 11th April we welcome back Intoart and Yoshiko Phillips for another mural exhibition on our Taproom wall. Yoshiko first exhibited her work on our Taproom wall back in April 2018 and we are so excited her bright and fantasical characters have found a home with us for the next few months.

Yoshiko Phillips

Yoshiko Phillips creates artworks that are full of merry characters, dazzling colour combinations and bold, calligraphic linework. Her practice has been inspired by a range of sources including traditional Japanese embroidery, Baroque architecture and the natural world.

Yoshiko has recently applied her unmistakable style to a number of design projects including a collaboration with prestigious knitwear designers John Smedley; a large-scale installation for the walls of Charing Cross Hospital, as well as creating a number of bespoke Intoart products and prints.

Her current body of work has been based around the study Japanese spirits, apparitions and monsters known as Yokai. Yoshiko has created dozens of characters for this project each one brimming with a mixture of charm and mischievousness. The mural at the Brick Brewery Taproom brings four of her favourite Yokai together in a stunning large scale composition. Yoshiko has been a member of the Intoart collective since 2015.

NEW BEER: Buraz, East Coast IPA

Back in February we welcomed Tom and Filip from The Garden Brewery to brew a reciprocal beer to our Rosehip and Wild Sorrel Sour collaboration Pete helped them brew over in Croatia last November. Buraz is an East Coast IPA which showcases a new hop in the market; Sabro. Sabro exhibits an intoxicating and complex blend of fruity and citrus flavors. It is described as an intensely unique hop, notable for its complexity of fruity and citrus flavors, including distinct tangerine, coconut, tropical fruit, and stone fruit flavors, with hints of cedar, mint, and cream. The combination of Sabro, Citra and Vic Secret hops resulted in a super juicy IPA with heavy notes of mango, passionfruit and a coconut sweetness.

Using a new local artist for these label designs, we sat down with illustrator and graphic designer Mathilda Della Torre to find out a bit more about herself and how she created this beautiful label for us!

Hi Mathilda, tell us a bit about yourself…

Hello! My name is Mathilda and I am an illustrator and graphic designer, currently doing a Master’s in Graphic Communication Design at Central Saint Martins. I love the sunshine, drawing, falafel, London, charity shops and any shade of pink. I use my practice as a way to look closer for longer, to portray how I see small portions of the world, to bring people together through creative exchanges and visual conversations and to position peripheral voices in the centre of our stories.

 

What is your background and where did you grow up?

I am half French and half Italian and I’ve been living in London for 6 years now. I moved around Europe quite a lot when I was growing up, so I tend to feel at home really quickly and almost anywhere. But right now London feels like home and I’m so happy here.

 

What does a typical day look like for you…

• Porridge and coffee for breakfast.
• Cycling to uni, preferably in the sunshine.
• Working on projects both for my course and as a freelancer in our studio, library, canteen or anywhere else where I can focus.
• Feeling hungry again 30 minutes after having lunch.
• Having a few breakdowns and sometimes (rarely) having a creative breakthrough.
• And then ideally going home or out and doing something nice with friends or family. But more realistically, doing emails and more admin at home and then going to sleep very early.

 

How do you like to work?

By putting people at the centre of my practice, and by always working with or for people whose ethical values align with mine. I only realised how much I liked collaborating with others pretty recently, but there’s something really fulfilling about exchanging and challenging each other’s ideas, combining skills and creating something that has little bits of everyone. Whether that is to illustrate a label for a beer that people will share together or to create a set of workshops based on exchanges and visual exercises on our perception of India after travelling there. I’m also part of a design collective called ‘On The Mend’, and we are committed to improving health and wellbeing environments. At the moment, we are focusing on creating events that educate the public about current health topics through the use of design. This is definitely the way I love to work.

Find out more about On The Mend and their projects here: onthemend.me/

 

What/who inspires you and your work?

As cliché as it sounds, I’m inspired by my environment and everything that is happening around me, which is why I’m slightly obsessed with traveling and constantly living in new places. These are some of the things that have recently really inspired me:

• Travelling to Jordan.
• Reading ‘Breaching Borders: Art, Migrants and the Metaphor of Waste’ by Juliet Steyn.
• Watching (again) ‘Human Flow’ directed by Ai WeiWei.
• Listening to Maggie Rogers’ new album ‘Heard It In A Past Life’.
• Seeing Grace Wales Bonner’s ‘A Time for New Dreams’ exhibition at Serpentine Gallery.
• Reading Migrant Journal Issue 1 ‘Across Country’.
• Discovering the charity Headway East London and the Submit To Love Studios (a collective of artists who have survived brain injuries).
• Going to a talk by Elif Shafak.

 

Where or what is your favourite spot in South East London?

I studied my BA in Illustration at Camberwell College of Arts, so I spent 3 years exploring South East London. I loved living there and I have made so many memories there. These are a few of my favourite places:

• The food at Persepolis in Peckham (and the friendliest staff).
• The beer garden at Duke of Edinburgh in Brixton.
• The prints in Studio 74 in Brixton Market (I sell some of my screen prints there too!).
• The view from Frank’s Cafe at Bold Tendencies in Peckham (eagerly waiting it for it open again in the summer!).
• The Traid charity shop in Peckham.
• The gallery space and book shop at South London Gallery in Camberwell.

The Taproom is open as usual all weekend to try the beer exclusively too!

1 Year of the (new) Tap by Trudie, Taproom Manager

In December 2017 we closed the Taproom doors to move the brewery out to our new unit at Deptford. We used this opportunity to expand our Taproom, almost quadrupling the amount of taps and expanding our offer to include more cider, wine and spirits. 2018 was a year of celebration for us as we introduced launch tastings, showcases, created a new exhibition space and celebrated our 5thyear in the local area.

Celebrating the Beer
Expanding our offer coincided with the expansion of the brewery also. In 2018, we upped our specials game with the ongoing Sour Series, and introduced Peck and Blackhorse to our seasonal Framing Range. We have released around 36 Brick specials at the Taproom, some of them exclusives. To put that into perspective it’s like releasing a new beer every 8 days! Nothing beats our core Foundation Range, however, smashing out over 21,000 pints of Peckham Pale, 19,000 Peckham Pils, 10,000 Peckham IPA and over 3,000 pints of Peckham Rye.

With 18/22 taps dedicated to beer we also committed to source a small range of international specials. Our goal is to constantly offer something different, either showcasing lesser-known breweries in the UK like the formidable French brewers Popihn and Mont Salève or seeking out extra specials from established brewers like Prairie Artisan Ales and The Bruery. This is also the way we structure our offering of bottles and cans, having a good balance in style, abv and price alongside our own releases. In April, we introduced a whole shelf of Gluten-Free beer options. This has been loved by many who would like to explore beer styles yet have a gluten intolerance and in December we decided to keep a wider range of low-no alcohol beer to cater to even more of you!

Celebrating the Non-Beer
Our ciders, wine and gin all come from London-based distributors or distillers. The cider comes from Walthamstow-based The Real Al Company and Hawkes in Bermondsey, our wine from Les Vins de Sylvain in Honor Oak and we regularly get gin from both East London Liquor Company and Peckham’s own Little Bird. Square Root, based in Hackney, provide all of our soft drinks including our beautiful Artemesia Tonic which we use for the gin and Serious Pig just a few arches down supply us with most of our snacking offer.
In December, we introduced a selection of 3 whisk(e)ys to our offer, of varying flavour profiles. At the moment we are serving Redbreast 12, Lagavulin 16 (my personal favourite) and Hakushu Distiller’s Reserve.

Celebrating our Staff
Of course, we would be nowhere without our dedicated team of bar staff. These are the lovely faces you see every day at the tap. We value their work immensely and this is why the decision was made in January 2018 to join the Living Wage Foundation, ensuring they are paid fairly and committing to matching the yearly changes. The dynamic we have built over the past 12 months feeds naturally into the service we provide creating a positive vibe all round. A massive shout-out to Jenny, my right-hand woman who joined us in April and who has been a phenomenal addition to the small management team and to Adam, Tallulah, Jesse, Alex, Sam and Will who make working at the Taproom such a pleasure!

 

Celebrating our Customers
Our customers; old and new, regular and passers-by are at the centre of this little patch of Peckham we inhabit. We keep our regular beer launches and tastings at the price of the beer offered to make the events as accessible as possible. We always ensure that a member of either the brew team or management are hosting to keep conversations open and to listen to feedback. Your opinion matters to us and throughout the year we brought a number of Taproom Exclusives from the brewery to you like the Rhubarb & Custard Sour, Beetroot Sour (my favourite!) and the many special beers for our showcases. The reactions we get to these specials sometimes influence our decision-making processes, so keep on chatting to us or posting and sharing your thoughts on social media.

Celebrating our Future
In a constantly changing Peckham our challenge has been to constantly adapt to our customer’s needs. Going forward in 2019 our goal is to make our launches and tastings more engaging and in-depth by the introduction of radar charts. We also want to make our events and exhibitions more dynamic by offering workshops, holding fairs and improving on our celebration showcases and festivals from last year. This year we also plan to research and action a plan to reduce our use of plastic and general waste, and increase the amount of items we recycle, including a plan to recycle any Keykegs that come in for special beers. We hope to keep running with our theme of Celebration for years to come, and we hope you will all join us!

We’ve taken a new and innovative approach to our Sour Series for 2019 with the addition of a new collection, called the Heritage Sour Series. These beers will have added complexities such as wood ageing or inspired by cocktails of old, or both, creating a depth and twist that compliments their Fruit Sour Series.

The first releases in this series are two vermouth cocktail-inspired beers; Manhattan Sour and Martini Sour.

Manhattan Sour: Styled on the classic cocktail, the Manhattan Sour blends sweet cherry with a dash of bitter orange.  Cinnamon and Ginger create a warmth alongside rich, sweet and fruity notes from ageing on cherry wood.  This dark sour harnesses the classic recipe made famous by New York’s speakeasies

Martini Sour: White grape, peach and lemon peel provide a delicate contrast to the dry base of this sour. Added chamomile, coriander seed and cardamom bring a level of complexity that defies expectation.  Classic, balanced, refined.  Olive not required.

Continuing to work with up and coming local artists and creatives, in addition to the different approach to the beers, we’ve also moved our inspiration for the artwork for this series on to the next era. They will follow a Mid-Century Modern influence which came directly after the Art Deco period for which the designs for the Fruit Sour Series are based. Function dictates form, with the flashy designs ditched and stripped down and organic clean lines embraced.

Using a new local artist for these label designs, we sat down with designer and creative Ted Low to find out a bit more about himself and how he approached this new label project for us!

Tell us a bit about yourself…

I’m Ted, 32 years old, and totally obsessed with sports and design. I loved playing basketball competitively but I’m not able to do it anymore due to an Achilles injury. Now instead I go running or surfing whenever I can get to the sea. Best of all, I love watching sports while enjoying a beer. Design is my second love and it’s awesome that I get to do it as my job. I’m always in awe at the breadth of talent in the design industry and the designs people create. I’ve lived in London now for six years after living in Brighton, Switzerland and South Africa.

What is your background and where did you grow up?

I’m originally from South Africa and feel like it was instilled in me from an early age by both my parents to be really proud of my South African nationality and how far the country has come. For my dad this meant making sure we watched all of South Africa’s rugby matches. As a family we left South Africa when I was three and half for Geneva, Switzerland as my dad was offered a new job. Upon arrival I apparently tried to leave the airport terminal bare footed and refused to put on shoes, even though there was snow on the ground. Switzerland was quite an adjustment at first, we really missed our family and friends in South Africa but looking back growing up with my older sister in Switzerland was great.

What does a typical day look like for you…

In September I started a Graphic Design studio with my friend and business partner Ryan Sargent, and shortly thereafter quit my regular full-time job, so I’m not too sure what a typical day looks like yet! Sometimes I’m out meeting clients, working from a coffee shop or I end up going to the office where I do most designing. As a company we just finished a branding project for a local café. Currently I’m working on a community mural and putting together proposals for new jobs. If I’m not too tired I try to get a run in before taking it easy in front of the TV, especially during the winter months.

How do you like to work?

When doing client work, my ideal scenario after getting the brief is to give myself the time and freedom to be creative. It usually gives me the biggest breadth of designs and I get to choose from a ton of designs and just present the best ones. For example, Martini Sour had 38 different designs but I only presented a few. If I’m doing personal work I tend to come up with a concept or idea for a design which challenges me to learn a new program, skill or technique to execute it in the way I envisioned it at the start. Say like learning how to code to create a website or testing out a new technique in animation software. I also can’t stand to work alone when doing design. Where possible, I aim to work in the company of other creatives, so that I can always get a second eye on something.

What/who inspires you and your work?

I’m always curious to see something new from Aaron Draplin, he’s so talented and I love his style of design but what I respect most about him is that he’s such a welcoming and genuine guy. I also hugely admire Saul Bass and Olly Moss design, not only are their designs graphically beautiful but the concepts behind their designs are brilliant. One of my favourite local designers is Rob Lowe a.k.a. Supermundane. And you never forget your first design crush: Tinker Hatfield; shoe designer for Nike.

Where or what is your favourite spot in South East London?

I wish this question was favourite spots plural rather than singular! If I’m forced to pick just one it has to be Marcella in Deptford (Brick: we also loooove this place! If you’re ever in/around Deptford… go!) The fact that I can get some of freshly made pasta that always blows my mind because of how good it is for a decent price is why it has to be my favourite. And if I’m allowed to cheat and add in a few more spots: Brockley Market, Browns coffee, Franks, Peckham Levels and Telegraph Hill.

The Garden Brewery Collaboration: Rosehip and Wild Sorrel Sour, 3.8%

Our first collaboration beer of the year is with The Garden Brewery… all the way from Zagreb, Croatia!

Our Head Brewer, Pete, worked at The Garden Brewery before joining us at Brick Brewery so this is a collaboration close to our hearts. Pete headed over to Zagreb last November to brew a Rosehip and Wild Sorrel Sour with The Garden Brewery gang. This Rosehip & Wild Sorrel Sour was brewed with ingredients foraged by the brewers from the woodlands around Slijeme, a mountain to the North of Zagreb. Tart and floral with spicy almost lemongrass notes, with locally foraged Croatian herbs and plants.

The label artwork is inspired by traditional Croatian folk art. These particular patterns are interpreted in tattoos and are variations of pine trees and circle motives originating from a sort of circular dance in 19^thcentury Croatian villages, meaning a union and collectiveness.  A true union of 2 breweries.

 

Join us on Friday 8^thFebruary as we launch the beer at the Taproom, with an exclusive free tasting session of the beer with Tom from The Garden Brewery and our own Pete, PLUS a Tap Takeover from The Garden on our guest lines. Get your free tasting session ticket here to taste the beer exclusively before anywhere else, learn more about the beer and a chance to chat to the brewers.

As well as our collab in cans and on tap, there will also be from The Garden Brewery:

– Pale, 5.1%
– Chocolate & Peanut Butter Stout, 6.9%
– Milkshake IPA, 6.7%
– Garden Sour, 3.5%
– Vanilla & Chocolate Porter, 6.7%

Whilst some of The Garden Brewery team are in London we will be brewing a reciprocal collaboration at our Deptford site to be released in can and keg in March, so keep your eyes peeled for that too!

 

 

Rhubarb Sour, 2.5%

Our first beer release of 2019 sees the return of an old favourite; Rhubarb Sour! First released in July 2017 in keg and can, it sold out in a matter of hours and what followed was months of requests to bring it back. We did just that in January 2018 to suit a drinker demand for lower ABV beers in January, and we’ve done the same again this year!

Using kettle souring techniques to create a tart, lip-puckering base with fresh rhubarb added to bring sweetness to this sessionable thirst quencher. Easy drinking for any time of year.

Rhubarb Sour is launching at our Taproom this Friday 18^thJanuary in keg and can, exclusively pouring before general release next week. To celebrate its return, we are holding a FREE tasting session at 6pm, tasting not only the Rhubarb Sour but 2 other lower ABV Brick beers, to explore and discuss the current trend and popularity surrounding lower ABV beers. Just turn up, no need to book! Just make yourself known to the bar staff when you arrive you are here for the tasting session.

There are also a few kegs of Rhubarb and Custard Sour knocking around that will be put on exclusively at the Taproom, keep an eye on our social media to find out when they will be on as they won’t last for long!

Rhubarb Sour will be out for general release from Monday 21^stJanuary. Get cans once released from our online shop here
