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.

6/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7
Draft @ Beavertown Extravaganza'17. Orange, col fin blanc. Arôme au bouquet botanique avec des effluves de gingembre et léger herbacé, rétro de grains. Palais est léger et plaisant niveau aigreur avec encore un petit ajout épicé de gingembre qui relève le tout. Malté orienté grains avec un fini citrique et râpeux sur la fin, retrouve peu l'effet de weisse sauf peutêtre au niveau levure?

(thanks for sharing!) Sampled draft @ The Beavertown Extravaganza 2017. Day 1. Black. Far too alcoholic nose, harsh unbalanced booze / varnish. Taste is so bloody alcoholic too umami, roast, overkill, too harsh, low hazelnut in the back is a minor saving point.

(thanks for sharing!) Sampled draft @ The Beavertown Extravaganza 2017. Day 1. Orange, little white head. Nose is quite poor, spoiled plastic & off grain. Oily plastic wheat, off grain, sugar, heavy plastic, bread. Body is plastic baffling sweet. Quite a mess, how is this top 50 in the style.
