About Signature Brew
From award-winning band collabs to brewery of the year
Hi, we’re Signature Brew and we’re reinventing what it means to be a brewery. We are on a mission to unite people through the power of fresh beer, great music and unforgettable experiences.
From our state-of-the-art brewery/music venue in Blackhorse Road, London, we’re creating a world of incredible beer and music, built around people, passion and creativity.
This ethos, along with our commitment to the community and the environment, means we’re the only brewery to have won SIBA’s prestigious Brewery Of The Year Award twice (2018 & 2021).
Our perfectly-tuned flagship beers – Studio Lager, Roadie IPA and Backstage IPA – are beloved by drinkers throughout the UK, while our seasonal sours, New England IPAs, alcohol free craft beers and barrel-aged imperial porters are guaranteed to hit all the right notes.
Since we started in 2011, our legendary band collaboration beers have seen us brew with more artists than any other brewery in the world, including the likes of Hot Chip, alt-J, Mastodon, IDLES, The Darkness, Sports Team, Enter Shikari, Big Joanie, Mogwai, Ed Gamble and Hospital Records.
Welcome to our world, everyone’s invited.
