Celeste was the first African American woman brewer to launch a commercially distributed craft beer. Now Brixton drinkers will get a chance to try her brews.

Starting this month, beer enthusiasts can experience the vibrant 125th Street IPA, a refreshing beer bursting with hip hops, citrus, and spice, along with other flagship beers from Harlem Brewing’s diverse portfolio.

“This partnership is more than just beer, it’s a celebration of shared passions for craft, community, and culture,” said Celeste. “Even across oceans, our shared values and dedication to legendary beer bring us together.

“We are thrilled to bring Harlem’s distinctive flavours to the UK and create a lively taproom in the heart of Brixton!”

Hammant Patel Villa, founder of Supercute Brewery, added: “Brixton and Harlem boast a cultural exchange that spans music, art, and social justice.

“Our partnership with Harlem Brewing is a natural extension of that connection, celebrating our common ground over a shared pint in our welcoming taproom.”

The new taproom, which has been designed in collaboration with renowned Harlem artists and Brixton architects Squire & Partners, will evoke the energy and rich history of Harlem.

The space will feature a bold colour palette inspired by Harlem’s street art, murals that depict iconic Harlem landmarks, and a curated selection of music that celebrates the neighbourhood’s musical legacy.
