Love Lane Brewing
Merseyside
Our founders loved beer so much, that they joined a growing band of brewers in a global craft movement that has changed beer forever.
From humble home brewing, they moved to a basic railway arch on Liverpool’s Love Lane. If you love making beers and you’re on Love Lane, you would have thought the name of the brewery or the beer was kind of obvious? As it happened, they called the company The Liverpool Craft Beer Company (TLCBC) but they did brew Love Lane Pale Ale, which back in 2015, was Liverpool’s first commercially produced keg craft beer.
From home brewing to an 8-barrel plant in the railway arch, they knew they had something and were making good beer. The founders realised they needed bigger premises and that meant investment if they were going to expand.
Enter Stephen Crawley with a vision to return commercial brewing to Liverpool and build a brewery within sight of the Mersey that could easily be East or West Coast America. The connections between the city and the states drove an ambition to cement those links with styles of beer.
TLCBC had Love Lane as a potential brand name and had acquired a lease on an old rubber warehouse at 62-64 Bridgewater Street. The ambitions combined and Stephen set up a new business, acquiring TLCBC, the Love Lane Brand and the lease of the dilapidated building in Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle.
