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 tap. ACME is the neighbouring pizza joint. Soft spicy aromawith a yeasty edge. Opaque cola brown. Creamy beige head. Has good retention- has been sat there for a while. There's certainly some chili burn but it's not intrusive. A smoky edge to the sweet yeasty core. Medium bodied. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long finish. Pleasent stuff.

Keg at the tap. Aroma is sweet and spiced. Dark opaque cola brown. Thin creamy beige head. Spices are prominent - popping over the top. Underlying dough. Hints of coffee bitterness. Medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long finish. Not normally keen on overly spiced beers but this works.
