Sambrook’s to relocate in London


London-based Sambrook’s Brewery is to relocate production to the nearby Ram Quarter in Wandsworth.

The new facility will be set within the restored Grade-II listed brewery buildings at the site of the old Young’s Brewery.

Sambrook’s will also operate a tap room set around Ram’s central square with outdoor seating together with a visitors’ center and brewery museum, showcasing the history of brewing in London.

The new facility will be opening in Spring 2020, after which Sambrook’s will be closing its original site in Battersea from which it has operated since August 2008.

Brewing has been taking place at Ram Quarter since at least 1533. Famously the site was home to Young’s until 2006.

During redevelopment the Ram’s brewing legacy has been preserved by former Young’s master brewer, John Hatch, who maintains a nanobrewery at the site.

The relocation of Sambrooks will re-launch the commercial brewing from the site and continue the brewing heritage since 1533.

Duncan Sambrook, founder and managing director of Sambrook’s Brewery, said: “Our move to Ram Quarter feels like a homecoming. Wandsworth has had a rich brewing heritage and we’re excited to be able to continue this and secure the future of Sambrook’s brewery.

“It’s a fantastic location for us to expand our retail offering and is just metres from the River Wandle after which our most famous beer takes its name.”
