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.

Cask Gravity at Pig's Ear 2017. It pours jet black with a medium beige head. The aroma is earthy roast, coffee, cocoa, dried fruits, fruit cake, tamarind, tangy liquorice and sugar plum. The taste is dry, bitter, earthy roast, charred wood, tart/slightly acidic fruity streak, berry skin, tar and burnt coffee notes. Medium body and fine carbonation. Not as good as the deeperlade imo. Perhaps balance is lacking a bit.

Cask Gravity at Pig's Ear 2017. It pours black with a bubbly beige head. The aroma is earthy roast, bitter - sweet, cocoa, sticky orange marmalade, coffee, soft roast and mellow milk chocolate notes. The taste is bitter, earthy, roasted malt, charred pine, coffee, ash, orange peel, tar and ash with a dry, toasty finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Aroma is rather nice, but the taste doesn't live up to it. Decent anyhow.
