Meantime Brewing Company Information

London, 1998. Beer is flat brown stuff that blokes drink in pubs. Seven hundred miles away in Munich, a young Brit with beer on the brain gets to grips with the German language so he can study brewing from the masters. This is Alastair Hook, our founder and he’s about to enter the holy of holies: the University of Munich’s Weihenstephan campus. Fast forward ten years, and Alastair’s ready. With a second mortgage on his flat and a little help from a rag-tag crew of mates, he set up Meantime Brewing Company in 1999. By then, most of London’s beer was fizzy yellow stuff. Undeterred, Alastair introduces the thirsty city to proper beer. We call Greenwich in London home – we were born here and we still brew here today. Since ’99 we’ve made it our business to change the way people think about beer... we’re just getting started. There’s no compromise when it comes to the stuff that matters like sourcing the best ingredients from far-flung corners of the world, giving the beer the time it needs to reach its best, and demanding the tightest quality. But most important to us is our passionate, beer-loving 'brew crew' as it's them who make us Meantime.
