Son of Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant began Beavertown in his kitchen 10 years ago, brewing beer in a rice pan.
Heineken, which took a £40m minority stake in Beavertown in 2018, has now agreed to buy the remaining shares.
He said the culture of Beavertown, including its branding and "drive to brew the very best tasting beers", will continue. He said his dad is a "massive fan" of the brewery, just as Led Zeppelin is one of his favourite bands, and that he'd had "a lot of support from family" with the business venture. Mr Van Esch, who has worked for Heineken for 20 years, will become the firm's new managing director, while Mr Plant will have an advisory role."The brand is in growth, it has a fantastic culture and work ethos and people love the beers. We will support, invest in and grow the company, and I am incredibly excited about the future," he said.
