We are Gipsy Hill – a leading independent brewery in London.
Last summer, we released the World’s First carbon-negative beers without offsets, and we are on a mission to become a carbon-negative brewery without offsets. Our hero beer, Hepcat, is the highest-rated Session IPA from any medium-sized brewery in London. We grew sales by over 30% in 2023 and have a Taproom in the Crystal Palace area.
