About
40FT is an independent brewery in Dalston, Hackney, producing fresh, modern beer. Starting in the kitchen of a Hackney Houseshare where three homebrewers made beer for their house parties, the venture quickly moved into two 20ft shipping containers located in a disused Dalston car park in 2015, after convincing the head brewer of their local brewery to join them.

Over the last 6 years, 40FT brewery has grown organically by adding more shipping containers like lego and a building a talented team of 15 people. 40FT is now brewing to capacity on a 10HL brew kit, with an output of 7,000 pints a week

Brewing is understood to take place at both sites with more beer being produced at the new Walthamstow / Blackhorse beer mile location.

The registered office on Companies House is neither of the brewing locations so the address used is the primary brewing location on Lockwood Way.

Keg at The Mermaid. It pours clear dark gold with a thick white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, spicy, lemon & ginger tea, bready maltage and candied citrus. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, bright, lemony sherbet, herbal, sour candy, musty funk, hay, wet grass, bit grainy, spicy root ginger and a touch of acidity with a drying, slightly astringent finish. Light - medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Unusual mix of flavours in a sour that's for sure. Not bad, but doubt could drink a lot of this.

Hop Locker 1. Keg. Light haze in this deep amber beer, decent cream colour head. Palate is airy, semi dry and a little soft. Reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth malts, tangy caramel and cream, trace of toffee. Tangy ripe citrus, ripe fruits. Smooth and semi dry finish brings modest spice. Nice enough.
