The brewery wants to open Beak Market in a warehouse close to Brighton station, a community-focused street-food market and taproom.
The food hall would comprise four ‘affordable kitchen spaces’, a speciality coffee concession and a flagship taproom showcasing brewery-fresh Beak beers and locally-produced wines.
It is currently seeking support from the local community for the project in order for it to get backing from Brighton Council. If successful, the be open as earky as the autumn.
Located in Lewes, Beak launched three and half years ago and began life as a nomadic project run by food and drink writer Daniel Tapper. As well as its award-winning taproom it operates a street-food canteen and has established a mixed-fermentation project, showcasing seasonal ingredients sourced from the surrounding South Downs National Park.
“We’ve dreamt of creating a second venue dedicated to our twin passions of food and drink,” says its founders.
Beak is currently inviting people who live in the city to offer statements of support via thebeakbrewery@gmail.com.
