we’re art & craft

Art & Craft - 'Art on the walls and craft on the shelves' the idea behind Art & Craft brought to you by the inkspot brewery.

Art & Craft brings you the best craft beers from local, national and international breweries carefully selected weekly by our team to make up our 400 strong can & bottle selection. In addition to what’s in the fridge our stores offer draught beer to enjoy in or to take away in our 2 litre growlers.

If beer isn't your thing we lovingly choose our artisan spirit section from local producers. We have a comprehensive wine selection including natural, organic and biodynamic wines from far and wide.

Lets not forget the art. Our venues have a rotating collection of urban and contemporary Art from both established and emerging artists. We offer wall space and commission free sales to local artists. If you are wanting to exhibit work at any of our sites please email info@artandcraft.london.

Continuing on from the success of the stores, in 2018 we opened our first bar. Art & Craft CR0 is dedicated to bringing you the finest craft beer on draught. We champion live music and of course contemporary art.

Art and beer....what’s not to love!

inkspot brewery

Like all good ideas; it started over a beer.

Bradley and Tom met in 2011 at Bradley’s bar in Streatham. A conversation about “Why does every bar have a house wine but not a house beer?….” led to The Inkspot Brewery being formed.

Two years of cuckoo brewing at a friends brewery (thank you Mr. Bob) and sales in London led to two big life changes; Bradley sold the bar & Tom retired from the British Army. Time to find a home for Inkspot.

Finding a barn sheltered within the Rookery garden, a conservation area on Streatham Common, was incredible. Overwhelming local support for the brewery project led to planning permission being granted & three years of work, carefully considered and sensitively deliver transformed a tired barn into a working brewery.

The Rookery is such a local treasure & our rent goes directly to the Streatham Common Co-operative (SCCoop) who love and manage the gardens. We run monthly events called “ShuttersUp'“ open to all (Follow us on Instagram and Facebook) and are also available for private hire for weddings, parties and celebrations.
