About
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.

Rocky light brown head left a froth on a dark oak coloured body. Peanut butter, malt & lactose aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a lively back & clean aft. Peanut butter, lactose, brown sugar, sweet citrus & lightly hopped tastes with a long tangy finish. Interesting
