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.

Draft at Pigs Ear Fest. Cocoa is readily apparent from the start, blending wonderfully with the roast grains for a nice semi-swett flavor. Kind of a dull pour, but more than enough flavor to make up for it. Finishes bittersweet, split right down the middle.
