Description
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

In 2025 production moved to Hackney Brewery's former Blackhorse Road premises.

Keg at the Arcade Tavern, Ipswich. Pours golden with a good sized white head. Aroma of hop, light floral, touch of golden syrup and corn. Medium plus sweetness and light bitterness. Light to medium body and slight oily texture, carbonation is soft. Compares very favourably with authentic Koln Kolsch.
