Description
Hammerton Brewery is a microbrewery based in Islington brewing small batch beers with the aim to bring great tasting beer back to the borough and also re-establish the Hammerton Brewery name in London.

Hammerton Brewery originally began brewing in London in 1868. Sadly it ceased to brew in the late 1950s and was later demolished. In 2014, a member of the Hammerton family decided to resurrect the family name in brewing. It also brings brewing back to Islington, a London borough with a great beer making heritage.

On tap at Ebenezers, Crewe – as Hammerton Crunch. Pours black with a small cream head. Has a buttery aroma with roasted malts in the background. Similarly a buttery, creamy texture in the mouth, with flavours of liquorice, dark fruits and peanuts. Some lactose comes through at the end to give it sweetness. Nice enough and the peanut butter not too overwhwlming.

On draught at the Hammerton Brewery tap. Brownish black with a ring of beige head. Sweet aroma, I'm getting some caramel but nothing specifically butterscotch-y. That comes with the sweet, glory taste, a mountain of butterscotch syrup lands on the tongue before an almost harsh hoppy bitterness. Light body for the ABV, medium carbonation. A delicious beer for sure.

Draught at the brewery. Dark brown and opaque with a ring of beige head. Fresh caramel with fresh vanilla and chocolate fudge notes in the aroma. Sweet, gooey taste with a good bit of hoppy bitterness in the finish. Full, oily body with soft carbonation. A tasty stout.

330ml can from Dry Drinker. Pours dark brown, small beige head. Surprisingly vibrant chocolatey biscuity peanut butter aroma. Lovely smooth palate with milky chocolate, biscuit and peanut butter coming through nicely to taste. Just needs a bit more body and these AF beers will give the real stuff a run for their money.

330ml can from Dry Drinker. Clear gold pour, small white head, well carbonated. Welcoming citrussy aroma, fruity citrussy first sip before it fades dry revealing its alcohol free ways. Nicely balanced with enough fruity nuances coming through. Really rating Hammerton's AF beers so far.

440ml can @ Free-Dumb tasting, Chez Sophie, July 21. Intriguing spicy chai-like vanillery aroma that I assume is down to the chicha. Nicely sour, with some good fruity berry notes. Genuinely different and works well. Alongside the cracking alcohol free beers I've had from Hammerton i've been pretty impressed with this brewery.
