Camden Town Brewery, one of London’s leading craft beer brands, is launching in NYC
Calling all British craft beer fiends: Camden Town Brewery will launch its flagship Hells lager in New York City this month.
The craft beer brewer was acquired by global industry leader AB InBev for £85m about a year ago and has received significant investment from the brand's high end division, enabling it to launch into new markets and build a new, purpose-built brewery in Enfield, which is currently under construction.

Jasper Cuppaidge, founder and chief executive of Camden Town Brewery, said: "We've always been inspired by New York; it's a buzzing city filled with incredible places to eat and drink, so it felt like the right place to launch Camden into the US."
