About
Tap East opened its doors for the first time in 2011 several years before the explosion of breweries across the UK that would happen later in the decade. Having run a successful wholesale business, along side the Rake in Borough market for a number of years, Mike Hill and Richard Dinwoodie were approached by Westfield about the possibility of opening a brewpub in their new site next to the Olympic park in Stratford which they accepted and after several months, lots of building work, and a brewery being shipped down from Cumbria , Tap East was born.

Today the bar offers a welcome respite from the mono-culture of chain stores that populate much of the rest of the centre, while beers produced on site have won a number of awards over the years.

Keg at LBA. It pours crazy cloudy orange with no head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, tangy, mango, passion fruit and apricot. The taste is sour, fruity, tangy, earthy, touch of acidity, fruit cocktail, five alive fruit juice and sour candy through the finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Good fun.
