Description
The company was founded by Alastair Hook in 1999. He started the brewery in a small lock-up on an industrial estate, before moving to the Greenwich Brewery, and then to a site on nearby Blackwall Lane in 2010. It was purchased by SABMiller in May 2015. As part of the agreements made with regulators before Anheuser-Busch InBev was allowed to acquire SABMiller in 2016, Meantime was sold to Asahi Breweries of Japan in October 2016. Brewing moved to Fuller's in May 2024.

Slightly hazy, yellow pour with a tiny white head. Malt, herbs, hint of citrus - decent, but not mindblowing.

It is a regular pale ale, no bad, classical, some hop, slight bitterness, malt, better to start the night with this beer, 21.07.17, at Prélaz, buying it at one monoprix Paris.

Fra fat på Heathrow T2: klar gylden med fint skum som varer. Tropiske frukter, granskudd, søte clementiner, hint av gressløk, samt fin maltsmak og mersmak i avslutningen.

Draft @ Haz, London. Clear gold with a small white head. Aroma of grass, grapefruits and lemons. Taste of malts, grapefruits and grass. Somewhat dry. Low bitterniss. Medium carbonation. Works well enough.
