Jez is hugely proud of the brewery and its partnership with Heineken and is passionate and committed to getting our beers further out of South London so people everywhere can get a taste of Brixton.
Sebastian Nielsen | Brook House Hops
Sebastian used to work in Enterprise Software and has had a variety of sales and business development roles in the last 10 years. It only took a few visits to Brook House Farm during the 2018 harvest to convince him that a move into the world of hops was exactly what he was looking for. As a keen homebrewer and beer drinker, Sebastian says he has found a business and industry he can truly feel passionate about. He is now responsible for all aspects of sales and marketing for our business but what he enjoys the most is meeting brewers and sharing his passion for hops. When he is not in the farm office, you will find him driving across the country from brewery to brewery and beer festival to beer festival. Seb’s favourite hop is Fuggle because of the beautiful and intense flavour it imparts to stouts and porters.
