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.

Bottle at home, from the Fullers advent calendar 2024, 21/12/24. Clear amber with a lasting just off cap. Nose is grass, pale malts, faint citric zest, toasted grains, dusty hop presence. Taste comprises orange rind, grass, caramel malts, straw, light pine nip. Medium bodied, light prickly carbonation, semi drying close spiked with modest grass laden hop bitterness. Passable pale ... rather pedestrian. --- Beer aliased from original tick of London Pale Ale on 11 Feb 2014 at 12:41 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.5. Original review text: Keg at Brew Wharf, 07/02/14. Clear golden with a moderate off white head. Nose is lightly toasted malt, orange, touch of lemon, bread dough, straw, cereals. Taste comprises bread dough, light caramel, grass, light hops, citrics. Medium bodied, light prickly carbonation, semi drying close. Pretty So so, remember having this in bottle many years back and thinking it was decent, just doesnโ€™t come anywhere close to the great beers London has to offer in this day and age!
