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.

Pint på The Clissold Arms (The Kinks lokalpub), sammen med Steven: klar kobbergylden med fint skum som varer. Gress, urter, barskog og citrus. Fin, fruktig bitterhet i avslutningen. --- Beer aliased from original tick of London Pale Ale on 16 Jan 2013 at 13:05 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7. Original review text: Fra fat på Cardinaltreff jan-13: gylden med langt, højt skum. Aroma og smak av kvae, furunål og gress, sommer tydelige spor etter cascade. Heller liten munnfylde (skyldes vel det lave vitamininnholdet) og besk, kort ettersmak. Fra fat på bryggeriet april-14: både Håkon og jeg er enige om at dette er gode saker. Frisk, syrlig, godt balansert, og med en slank munnfylde som gjør at dette glir lekende lett over ganen mens vi venter på maten. Opp fra 2.9 til 3.5

Keg at the Beech House, Beaconsfield. Burnished gold with a white head and a light fizz. Tropical notes up front -especially peach. Some peach blossom too, and lemon in the clean finish. Pleasant and refreshing.
