Cask and keg beers brewed in Colliers Wood could soon be available at pubs in south west London if plans for a micro-brewery, shop and tap room bar are approved tonight.
The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has given its seal of approval to a proposed micro-brewery in the vacant College Fields Business Centre in Prince George’s Road, Colliers Wood.
The brewery will be a 30 barrel brew house to the rear of the 375 sq metre site, a shop and a tap room with car parking and a reception.
As long as plans are approved, beer will be made for bottling elsewhere with the aim to sell the product internationally.
Documents submitted to Merton Council state the main building would have a high internal ceiling to allow for new barrels and a mezzanine floor for the brewery shop selling bottled beers and branded merchandise.
A tap room will be on the same floor as a classroom and reception which will allow for brewery tours and educational visits.
Cask and keg beer brewed on site could supply pubs in Merton.
A total of seven objections have been raised noting concerns including toxic fumes, machinery noise and undesirable visitors to the bar. The plan is recommended for approval.
Merton Council’s planning committee will decide whether to allow the plans at a meeting tonight.
