A new taproom is set to open in a boost to Walthamstow's Beer Mile.
The East London Brewing Company has agreed terms with Waltham Forest Council to lease premises on the Lockwood Way estate.
This will be an extra stop on the Walthamstow Beer Mile, which opened in 2022 and is home to breweries and restaurants.
Councillor Ahsan Khan, deputy leader and cabinet member for housing and regeneration, said: "Agreeing a new lease with the East London Brewery Company shows that we are serious about supporting the Beer Mile and attracting reliable tenants to take units at the Lockwood Way estate.
"The money generated from commercial rents goes into the public purse to fund the essential services on which residents rely day in, day out.
"This is not our money; it is your money, which supports the most vulnerable members of our community."
The East London Brewery Company has agreed terms for units that have been empty.
The council said it will share details about the opening date of the new East London Brewery Company taproom as soon as possible.
Councillor Khan added: "We work hard to support local businesses and give them the support they need to succeed.
"We are in ongoing positive discussions with several other brewing companies and are investing heavily in the refurbishment of some of the units, supporting the interest we have generated in a number of units at Lockwood Way."
It represents positive news for the Beer Mile, after Beerblefish Brewing Co. and Hackney Brewery's High Hill Tap closed down last month.
