Full Venue Hire at Great Beyond Brewing Taproom

Great Beyond Brewing Taproom is an award-winning brewery in a railway arch in Hoxton, with 13 beers on tap, four visible brewing tanks, and a warm neighbourhood feel that makes it one of the more distinctive event hires in East London. Named Best Brewery UK 2024 and winner of Hoxton Fresh Best Beer, the taproom accommodates around 100 standing or 50 seated across a single open-plan arch space. It is available for both full and partial venue hire. The brewery was founded in 2016 with a focus on sustainable brewing. The taproom itself is decorated with plants sourced from nearby Columbia Road flower market, along with neon lights, fairy lights, candles, and board games — creating a space that reads more as someone’s carefully curated living room than a conventional bar.

The Railway Arch Space

The single open-plan arch works well for standing receptions, launch parties, team socials, and informal celebrations. The brewing tanks visible behind the bar provide a built-in backdrop that gives events a sense of place — guests know exactly where the beer they’re drinking comes from. Board games, fairy lights, and candlelit tables mean the space does not need significant additional dressing for casual events. For seated events, the layout accommodates around 50 guests. The cosy proportions of the arch mean even smaller groups don’t feel lost in an oversized room, which can be a challenge with larger blank-canvas venues.

What’s on Tap and Food Options

All drinks are served in-house — the taproom’s own beers, plus cocktails, wines, and soft drinks. With 13 lines pouring the brewery’s own range, the beer selection is a genuine feature of the hire rather than a standard bar offering. The taproom does not have its own kitchen, but food is available through a delivery partnership with Yard Sale Pizza. Bottomless brunch events run on Tuesdays in partnership with Yard Sale.
