Partizan Brewery is a microbrewery based in South Bermondsey founded by Andy Smith, an avid home-brewer who previously had a career in fine dining. He studied his craft under Andy Moffat at Redemption Brewing in Tottenham and while in London became friends with Evin O'Riordain of The Kernel Brewery, who, in 2012, kindly offered to pass on his original brew kit as the Kernel embarked upon expansion. Partizan began brewing and enlisted the services of artist, designer and illustrator Alec Doherty to take care of the image of the company.
