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 Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a hazy light amber colour with a frothy white head and a little broken lace. The aroma is light malt, light hop. The flavour is light bitter with a light, somewhat watery malt light hop bitter citrus palate. Light bodied with soft carbonation. A little light all round but quite refreshing.

Flaske (takk til Steven!), delt med Ovesen på Holmens aktivitetsdag okt-14: gylden lett uklar med kort gardinskum. Deilig bittersøt aroma og smak - appelsin, mandarin, grapefrukt og furunål. Meget velbalansert med stor drikkeglede, glir ubesværet over drøvelen.
