Tom’s Brewery Limited
Company Profile
Founded in 1902, DARBYS is an independent beer brand being relaunched for the modern age. Rooted in British pub culture, DARBYS blends heritage with contemporary branding - bringing classic brewing values into today’s social-first, experience-driven market. Based in London, DARBYS is currently in a rapid growth phase, building brand awareness through organic content, community engagement, and on-trade partnerships. Our Mission To revive a historic British beer brand and make it relevant for a new generation - reconnecting people with how beer is made, who makes it, and why it matters. We believe there’s a growing disconnect between people and beer. Most consumers never see the brewing process, the effort to get into the London market, meet the people behind it, or understand what goes into creating a great pint. DARBYS exists to close that gap. Our approach is simple: people first, brand second. We focus on transparency, education, and storytelling - showing the real process behind beer while building a community around it. Traction
