A fact from London Fields Brewery appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 22 December 2014 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that when it opened in 2011, London Fields Brewery was the first commercial brewery to be opened in Hackney since the 19th century?

Earlier today @90.209.225.96: removed most of the information regarding the founder/maybe-head of this company, asking why it was relevant, and wondering where a list of their current products were. So I'll address that here:
There is a list of the original beers produced by the company. In the context of where the brewery was created, it's significance as a brewery in that area, and the coverage surrounding their first product - these are notable. A simple list of products available currently would be advertising, which is not what Wikipedia is for.
Mr Whiteway is not notable on his own. Many people are arrested and convicted of trafficking offenses every day. A separate article is not required.
Mr Whiteway's history and current status as a possible owner of the company has directly affected company operations since its opening.
The amount of capital that went into the company was allowed despite Mr Whiteway owing the government over £4 million.
The company is unable to export products, and according to Mr Whiteway, unable to expand appropriately, because the court bars them from doing so. This is a direct consequence of Mr Whiteway's actions.
On December last year the company had to briefly cease operating, and its equipment and stock were seized by the government, as a direct result of the actions of Mr Whiteway.
Ownership of the company is in dispute in court (as of December 2014), as a direct result of court proceedings against Mr Whiteway.
This is not undue weight being given to one facet of the article or subject. The two are intimately entwined. The article also covers the founding of the brewery, why it is notable, it's original products, and its success in London and its entertainment scene.
