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.

33cl can. The beer starts nice and fresh. Hints of citrus, a bit watery. Interesting earthy, viscous and still highly drinkable. Only the hot profile is a bit strange, earthy, mouldy with lots of fresh hops. The aftertaste is moderate bitter, earthy mouldy hops on a slightly sweetish body. Interesting, but I don't like the hop-profile.

330ml can. Hazy amber colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Citrusy, hoppy aroma, notes of grapefruit, blood orange, passion fruit, orange zest, caramel malty background, hints of pine. Taste delivers similar flavours, moderate hop bitterness, an additional nuttily touch on the malty side, minimally chalky and mineral finish; minimally watery, flat carbo, soft palate. Very harmonious - Well done, Ben!
