Microbrewery plan for Harcourt Road
A planning application has been submitted to convert a shed on Harcourt Road in to a community-run micro brewery, which would produce up to 40 barrels of beer per week.
This sounds fantastic, albeit it will take us further down the road to Portlandia. It will be a working brewer, not a bar, although we'd imagine local pubs and bars would not be able to shift the stuff quickly enough, if they start serving it.

Sounds amazing! Are there links to see if you can get involved?
I wonder what the name of the brewery and of the beers will be?
Badger is already taken, as is brak(e)spears & Harcourt (in the USA) so maybe Brockley Brewery & Brockley Best is on the way??
How does a Community Microbrewery work? Also do you know how a member of the community would get involved in this one?
Sounds fun but don't they stink?
This was inevitable. And very welcome! The Catford Bridge Tavern will love this.
@Anon 18.12, I looked at the application because that's the first thing people will think -- that breweries stink. But the steam from the brewing process is condensed and disposed of (in the same way that condensing heating boilers work). No steam into the atmosphere, no stink.
I guess the planning applicant could provide more details or would publicise more widely when / if it's approved.
Sounds great to me!
Can't wait for the first 'dishonest fare' comment...
Give me Special Brew any day.
A pint of Old Peculiar Anonymous please!
Topped by the Greene King, I suspect.
Sounds splendid. And the smell is arguably quite nice - marmitey and malty. You sometimes get a whiff of it going through Hammersmith from the one remaining big London brewery there. Anyway I brew (Tudor style) at Kentwell a couple of weeks a year and it is great. If "community" means public involvement I would indeed like to find out more. If it just means "small scale" - good luck to them.
Despite my rigorous regime of cleansing between my folds I suffer from the occasional yeast infection. A bit of Domestos usually sorts it out.
Write to the pedants.
Theyll' assist you.
Yes but how will this affect the value of Mummy's nearby 800k Victorian townhouse?
The more alcohol around these parts the better I say... the damn kids are driving me nuts!
Ye may as well drink straight out of the cup offered to ye by the devil
a trombone will bring you closer to God
Short delivery to the Barge. They'll probably take their entire output.
Please let it taste better than that Meantime muck.
How about "Brockley Bilge"?
How about Mung Juice?
Yay! 09:45 and we have our 'Predictable Bore of the Day' winner!
Ignore it and it will stop.
The planning docs are pretty good - the support letter is the one everyone should read if they have any worries about this. It's been well thought out.
I want to get involved!
So it was there in 1973? Good.
The auto censor on this system will block any message that contains e.g. the F**K word etc. - can't it be adapted to do the same for M**G
Does it fuck.
As someone who lives on Harcourt Rd, anything to improve the appearance of that existing building with smashed windows etc, will be welcomed
free samples for Harcourt Rd residents would also be welcome
Is there any update on this? I would love to get involved!
This is isn't a planning application, or recommendation. It's a 'lawful development certificate'.
