BBNo was forged in 2012 by two passionate home brewers in London’s borough of Southwark aiming to create exciting, modern beers through experimentation. Our numbering system was born, splitting batches to perform different tests and create an ever-evolving range of beers.
We’ve since brewed 380+ different beers across 37 styles, building year-round favourites, seasonal specials, barrel-aged beers and sours. We’re highly ranked in the craft beer community, winning Top 100 Breweries in the World (2016), Ratebeer Top 50 beers in the World (2018) & 2 x gold in the World Beer Awards (2019).
Our revenue has grown 30% YoY on average for last 5 years, from £198K in June FY14 to £1.2M in June FY19 (EBITDA +£1K). We’re now a passionate team of 14 full & 20 part-time staff, proud to have built a business that benefits from multiple sales channels; a mix of retail, wholesale and exports.
In this exciting journey of expansion your support can take BBNo to the next level:
-Move brewery to a new, larger production site in SE London with dedicated taproom.
-Convert current brewery site in the heart of Bermondsey to a tank bar with pilot kit, serving our beers alongside curated BBQ food
-Invest in state of the art brewery equipment to take our beers to the next level
-Expand our barrel ageing program in Peckham, adding a variety of oak foeders and wine barrels
Many more exciting plans if we overfund...
