Pillars Brewery gains 80% increase in production capacity
Pillars Brewery, based in Walthamstow in London, has increased its production capacity by 80% in the last year.
The brewery, which specialises in craft lagers, has installed new horizontal tanks to keep up with demand but has also revealed plans to expand further and also build a new brewing site.
Pillars was founded in 2016 by three brothers Eamonn, Samie and Omar Razaq, alongside their friend Gavin Litton and is working towards the goal of creating the most sustainable brewery in London.
Pillars Brewery co-founder Samie Razaq, who is also director of brand and marketing, said: “We are on a mission to become the most-loved lager brand in the country. Two of every three pints bought in the UK are lager and we want to elevate the standard of such a well-loved drink”.
The current offering includes a pilsner, a hop lager, a helles as well as an annual small batch icebock with more beers rumpured to be planned and in the pipeline.
The brewery currently combines contemporary brewing techniques with traditional brewing principles and the beers are all created within a traditional Bavarian-style brewhouse, complete with its own lauter tun. The team tailors the water profile for each brew using its onsite water treatment plant and completes the process with a minimum of four weeks of cold conditioning.
