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 brewery tap. Pours cloudy amber with a creamy, tan head. The aroma holds toasted grains, minerals, faint berries. Light sweet flavour with some tangy grains, earth, a little carpet, tangy berries. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with more tangy berries, old wood, earthy hops, toasted grains. Pretty shabby.

75cl bottle - No 94/540. Great intense chocolate nose. The beer starts fantastic deep - chocolate, fruity orange hints, dry but smooth. Lots of chocolate in the mouth, very dry, highly drinkable with a nice smooth bittered aroma. Fantastic deep!
