The Park Brewery

What The Park Brewery does

The Park Brewery is a craft microbrewery founded in 2014 in Kingston upon Thames by husband-and-wife team Josh and Frankie Kearns, producing hop-forward, juicy ales inspired by Richmond Park. The product portfolio centers on a core range (Gallows Pale Ale hopped with Simcoe and Mosaic, Isabella American Brown Ale, Satan in the Suburbs Stout) and extends to specialty styles including a Kölsch-style lager (Phantom Kölsch), a Kveik IPA, a Bavarian Marzen (Schöne Eiche), and seasonal collaborations. Brewing runs on an electric system powered by increasingly renewable energy, with technical specialism in yeast selection (Norwegian Kveik, New England strains) and hop-forward formulation.

The business operates a hybrid direct-to-consumer and trade model. Revenue is generated through an e-commerce webshop with free local delivery within 5 miles and nationwide shipping, two owned physical venues (the Hampden Road Tap Room open Friday–Saturday with £4.50 pints, and Park Brew & Kitchen at 157 Park Road), and a Park Brewery Monthly Beer Box subscription. Trade sales supply cask and keg ale to approximately seven named local pubs and two independent bottle shops. Pricing is unit-based across cans (£18–£20 per 6-pack), mixed cases (£23–£81), and 5L mini-kegs (£23), with limited contract-based B2B revenue.

The company is privately held, UK-domiciled, with 1–10 employees and total disclosed funding of approximately $693,000 across a 2018 round and a late-2020 Crowdcube equity crowdfunding campaign. Customer concentration is low, with revenue dispersed across individual consumers, a handful of small trade accounts, and recurring subscription demand. The strategic posture emphasizes sustainability (97% waste recycled, carbon-neutral target by 2035, B-Corp application), community partnerships (Citizen Zoo, Friends of Richmond Park, Kingston Women's Centre), and brand storytelling anchored to local Richmond Park landmarks.

Direct peers

• Twickenham Fine Ales: Independent microbrewery based in Twickenham, southwest London, producing cask and bottled ales with a taproom and local trade distribution. The most geographically proximate direct peer to The Park Brewery given both are Richmond/Kingston-area craft producers serving overlapping pub networks.
• Wimbledon Brewery: South London craft microbrewery operating a brewery and taproom, producing core and seasonal ales for local trade and direct-to-consumer channels. Comparable scale, London suburban geography, and taproom-plus-trade model make it a strong direct peer.
• Sambrook's Brewery: Battersea-based London craft brewery producing traditional and modern ales with on-site taproom and broad London trade distribution. Overlapping product format (cask, keg, can), taproom operation, and pub trade model make it directly comparable.
• Anspach & Hobday: London craft brewery in Bermondsey known for porter-style innovation with a taproom and direct-to-consumer e-commerce. Comparable in scale, taproom + online distribution mix, and award-winning positioning.
• Five Points Brewing: East London craft microbrewery with taproom, pub trade accounts, and sustainability focus including B-Corp status. Closely mirrors The Park Brewery's D2C + taproom + trade + sustainability playbook at a slightly larger scale.
• The Kernel Brewery: Independent Bermondsey brewery producing cask and bottled ales with a strong reputation among London craft enthusiasts. Comparable as a London craft producer with a focus on quality ingredients and trade/customer-direct sales rather than mass distribution.
• Pressure Drop Brewing: Tottenham-based London craft brewery with taproom and broad London on-premise distribution. Similar indie craft positioning with comparable production scale and D2C plus trade channel mix.
• Portobello Brewing Company: West London independent craft brewery producing core and seasonal ales for pubs and direct customers. Comparable as a London indie brewer with overlapping on-premise account base and cask/keg/can product mix.

Broad incumbents

• Beavertown Brewery: Larger London craft brewery (Tottenham) with national distribution, owned by Heineken. Same London craft category and on-premise footprint, but materially larger scale and institutional backing — useful upper-bound benchmark.
• Camden Town Brewery: Major London craft brewery with national and international distribution, owned by AB InBev. Overlaps with The Park Brewery on craft positioning and London on-premise trade, but operates at significantly larger scale as a portfolio brand.
