Hackney Church Brew Co. Launches Crowdfunding Campaign for Major Expansion

Hackney Church Brew Co. (HCBC), the well-known independent brewery from Hackney, is inviting its supporters to get involved in an exciting new chapter of its journey through a crowdfunding campaign. With ambitious plans to expand, HCBC will be relocating its brewing operations to a new, purpose-built facility in one of London’s most vibrant areas, while maintaining its iconic Hackney location.

The new brewery will see a significant increase in capacity, ensuring that HCBC can continue to brew its award-winning beers for an ever-growing fanbase. The state-of-the-art brewery will feature a new taproom designed to offer a unique, immersive experience for beer enthusiasts, all while strengthening the brewery’s presence in the local indie beer scene.

At the same time, HCBC’s Hackney taproom will undergo a substantial expansion, doubling in size to accommodate more guests. The updated taproom will include increased seating, private event spaces, and live entertainment, creating a dynamic atmosphere that brings the community closer together and offers an enhanced experience for visitors.

“We’re thrilled to offer our supporters the chance to be part of this exciting new chapter for Hackney Church Brew Co.,” said Hamish Glenn, Managing Director of HCBC. “This expansion will allow us to continue brewing more amazing beers while also offering a bigger, better space for our community to gather. We can’t wait to see our vision take shape with the help of our loyal fans.”

As part of the crowdfunding campaign, backers will receive a range of exclusive rewards, including limited-edition t-shirts, a spot on the Founder’s Wall, private brew day experiences, the opportunity to name a beer, and even a signed photo of HCBC’s Head Brewer, Jacob, in his trademark shorts.

The new brewery is scheduled to open by late summer 2025, with brewing operations kicking off shortly after. Fans of HCBC and the wider craft beer community are invited to support the campaign and help make this exciting expansion become a reality.
