Camden Town Brewery is a London-based brewery that was founded in 2010 Jasper Cuppaidge, the grandson of Laurie McLaughlin, who ran McLaughlin’s Brewery in Rockhampton, Australia from 1910-1960, along with an estate of 60 pubs. Cuppaidge began living in England by accident after he missed his flight back home to Australia in the mid-1990s. Ten years later, he purchased a dilapidated Hampstead pub and reopened it in 2006 as The Horseshoe, serving food, wine, and beer.
There he first batch of beer, named Mac's Beer in honour of his grandfather in 2007 as a birthday present for his mother, Patricia. The beer proved successful with the pub's customers, so Cuppaidge began to pursue a full-time business in brewing lager in 2009. After he discovered that the name Mac's was already in use by another brewing company, he decided to name his company after the borough he lived in. Shortly after, Cuppaidge rented five Victorian railway arches underneath Kentish Town West Station and began brewing beer.
In 2015 Camden Town Brewery was bought by the global drinks giant AB InBev in a deal worth about £85m.
