It's time for a bigger space
Brixton Brewery is just around the corner from the kitchen where Lisa & Josh started it all.
Our first proper brewery was under the arches in New Covent Garden Market, before we moved to a converted warehouse on the same site a few years ago.
Every time we've moved, the story's been the same: we love the place we've grown to call home, but we've outgrown it. This next site is huge, and should have us covered for a good few years. If we ever need another upgrade, we'll be properly massive.
As well as sheer size, the Brixton Brewery is purpose-built for brewing and will help us make better kombucha. More fermenting space, a dedicated lab, a proper packaging area, and a team kitchen for downtime.
That's the end product. First... the hard bit.
45 days to move MOMO.
We've been working around the clock to brew extra kombucha, to cover us while we move between spaces. We have about 45 days of cover. We forecast that's enough time to complete the entire project:
Build a large cold room from scratch.
Build the new team facilities block, with a kitchen and an open plan office upstairs.
Decommission the existing site at New Covent Garden.
Move every piece of kit across London. Brewhouse, fermenters, packaging line, the lot.
Recommission everything at Brixton.
Start brewing again.
All that, and at the busiest time of year.
Luckily, we've been preparing for this moment for a while.
The kombucha will keep on flowing
Months and months of planning have gone into the move, and we're in a position where we can be confident that there will be zero change to your experience buying from MOMO. We plan for everything to remain in stock throughout the period: we always prioritise customers that buy direct from our website, and subscribers most of all.
That said, it'll be tight, and we hope you'll understand if anything goes awry. We'll keep you updated throughout the process.
Once we've got the new Brixton brewery set up, we expect our kombucha to taste more delicious than ever.
Come along for the ride
We want to share as much of the process with you as we can, both mess and success.
We'll be sending photos from the build, behind-the-scenes from the move, and the first bottle off the new line, straight to your inbox. Follow along on Instagram too. And wish us luck.
Love from the whole MOMO team.
