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

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 in Honest Burger near Artillery Passage. Jack the Ripper territory. Hazy orange gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Light malts, a tad thin but bringing an okay creamy sweetness. Mild piney hops. Floral and almost candyish citric hops. A light and semi dry finish. Overall all a sweetish and semi dry sessioner. Goes down alright.
