Great Beyond Brewing Taproom

Great Beyond started brewing in Hoxton in 2016, and the taproom that grew around it feels like a neighbourhood pub that happens to have four brewing tanks behind the bar. Plants from Columbia Road, board games on the tables, fairy lights strung across a railway arch — it's the kind of space where regulars come to sit for hours and event guests immediately feel at ease.

Award-Winning Beer, Brewed on Site

The brewery won Best Brewery UK 2024 and Hoxton Fresh Best Beer, and the taproom pours 13 of its own beers on tap alongside cocktails, wine, and soft drinks. For event hire, that means the drinks are a genuine talking point rather than an afterthought. Guests can see the tanks, taste the range, and understand what makes the brewery distinctive — which gives team socials, launch events, and informal celebrations a built-in conversation starter.

A Railway Arch That Feels Like a Living Room

The single arch space accommodates around 100 standing or 50 seated. The scale is intimate enough that smaller groups feel comfortable, while standing events benefit from the open plan and the natural flow around the bar. The décor — neon lights, candles, plant-filled shelves — creates warmth without needing additional styling. Food comes via Yard Sale Pizza rather than an in-house kitchen, and the bottomless brunch partnership on Tuesdays has become a draw in its own right.

Hoxton, Early Evening

The licence runs until 22:30, which positions Great Beyond firmly as a daytime and early evening venue. After-work drinks, team away days, afternoon launch parties, and weekend celebrations are its natural territory. Hoxton Overground is roughly 90 seconds away, with Old Street a short walk. The sustainable brewing ethos runs through the operation, adding another dimension for corporate bookings with CSR considerations.
