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.

Bottle from Sourced Market St Pancras and drunk at home. Black dark brown cola colour beer with thick thick lasting tan head. Hoppy roast malt aroma. Some chocolate in the mouth but also a bit of almost milky choc as well. Hop bitterness and roasted malt finish. Never my favourite style and there is a weird malt thing going on but it’s ok I guess.

Gravity cask at Nottingham festival 2015 with chriso, Boudicca, fonefan and Charlotte, pleasure! Called Geist Wheat and described as a white IPA at 5.2%, I’m not sure if this is the right beer, but here goes. Cloudy yellow color. Aroma of lemon bubblegum and pepper. Taste has peppery sour lemon and grapefruit. Sounds about right.

Tap at Islington CBC. Malty, earthy, grassy nose. Deep. Very earthy and dry flavor, some caramel and grain. Super dry and hoppy finish with a big hop burn. Dig it.

Cask at Tapping the Admiral. Clouded golden orange coloured pour with a fading frothy white head. Aroma is doughy grains, clove and some tropical notes, banana and tangy grains. Flavour is composed of full doughy wheat, grains, tangy wheat, citrus hop, spicy citrus rind. Palate is doughy and a bit flabby, maybe would be better on keg. OK hoppy hefe.
