Who We Are
At Great Beyond, we’re proud to be a small but mighty force in the beer world. Brewing, for us, has always been about creativity, quality, and community. Our mission is simple: make great beer that brings people together.
Since we started, we’ve been honoured to win awards like Best New Brewery in the UK, Best Beer in the UK for Hoxton Fresh, and Best New Beer in the UK for PB&J Sour. But what matters most is seeing people enjoy our beer and feeling part of the Great Beyond community we’re building together.
What We’ve Achieved Together
In Summer 2023, we launched our first crowdfunding campaign, and with your incredible support, we transformed our taproom into something we’re truly proud of. It’s now an inclusive, welcoming space where people can gather, share ideas, and, of course, enjoy great beer.
Before
After
Our taproom's transformation is proof of what we can achieve together. Now, we’re asking for your help to take the next big step forward.
Why We’re Raising Funds Again
Right now, every can of beer we produce is filled and sealed by hand. It’s slow, it’s labour-intensive, and it’s holding us back from growing further. To scale up and ensure the consistent quality you expect, we need to invest in a canning line.
We’ve found the perfect solution: the CF15 canning line from Innovus Engineering, made in Sussex. It’s fully automated, designed to make canning faster and more consistent while keeping our beer fresher for longer. For a small brewery like ours, it’s a game-changer.
This campaign will help cover part of the cost—a small but vital step for a bootstrapped business like ours.
How You Can Help
Your support will go directly toward purchasing the CF15 canning line, allowing us to:
- Move from manual canning to a faster, more consistent process.
- Expand our reach and share Great Beyond beer with more people.
- Ensure every can of beer is as fresh and high-quality as it should be.
You can see a video of the CF15 in action here.
Our Vision
For Ollie, Nick, and me, this canning line is more than just a machine. It’s a step toward sharing Great Beyond with a wider audience, while staying true to the quality and creativity that define our beer.
For every contribution, you’ll get a bar tab worth 1.5x your pledge.
We’re also inviting all contributors to a special launch party to celebrate this milestone. On the day, we’ll also raise funds for Hackney Food Bank—giving back to the community that’s always supported us.
Why We Need You
We’ve come this far thanks to people like you—our friends, supporters, and beer lovers. Your backing means everything to us, and we’d love for you to be part of this next chapter.
This is our chance to take Great Beyond to the next level. Don’t wait—join us now and help us make it happen.
Cheers,
John
