Malt, Transport, and the Pursuit of Heritage
Whilst this has now become a scarce occasion, today we’re recreating that historic journey. The River Lea, one of Hertfordshire’s critical canalised rivers, serves as our historical route from the French & Jupps location in Stanstead Abbotts to formally revisit London’s malting, brewing, and industrial past.
Watch as we load our roasted malt onto a historic narrow boat—operated by MJP Water Transport—and cruise down the River Lea, one of Hertfordshire’s most important canalised rivers, providing a powerful and tangible connection to our 215-year-old legacy.
From River Bank to Brewing Tank
With the journey completed, we wrapped up the journey with the brew day at East London Brewing Co. to produce a green hop ‘Harvest Porter’, celebrating our shared heritage of London’s brewing past.
Get involved with the release of ‘Harvest Porter’
The collaboration ‘Harvest Porter’ is scheduled for launch on October 9th at the Ye Olde Rose & Crown Walthamstow! Keep an eye out for for a taste of history not to be missed.
