Inside Robert Plant's Family Life: the Heartbreaking Tragedy That Almost Ended His Career
By James H. Sterling
Born eighteen months after Karac's passing, Logan Romero Plant brought renewal to the household. He grew up traveling between rural England and the roads of his father’s solo tours. While he initially fronted British indie and rock outfits like the Black Country Bandits and Sons of Albion, Logan chose not to spend his career trying to match his father’s vocal acrobatics.
Instead, Logan shifted to brewing. He founded Beavertown Brewery in East London in 2011, starting with homebrewing kit operations inside a Hackney barbecue restaurant kitchen. Drawing inspiration from craft beer cultures he encountered while touring as a musician in the United States, Logan turned Beavertown into one of Britain’s most successful independent craft beer brands, recognized worldwide by its distinctive sci-fi can art.
In 2022, Heineken acquired full ownership of Beavertown, cementing Logan as a successful business leader in his own right. Plant frequently showed up at the brewery’s events as an ordinary, proud father, drinking pints on the sidelines rather than acting like a rock deity.
