Founded by Charlie McVeigh in 2009, The Draft House is the first and pre-eminent craft beer pub group in the UK.
The brand is all about Good Food, Great Beer, Real People.
Luke Johnson has chaired and been a significant investor in the company since June 2011 when the group consisted of three pubs.
The Draft House is The Home of the Third, having revived the third of a pint measure as a means of enabling drinkers to sample the pubs’ vast range of beers.
Unusually for a craft beer pub group, The Draft House also has a strong food offer, specialising in dishes which have an affinity with beer.
In June 2017 The Draft House added 6 pubs to its portfolio via the acquisition of Grand Union Group, taking its total number of sites to 16.
We sold our investment in Draft House through a £15m trade sale to Brewdog in Spring 2018
