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 at home in London - picked up at Kris Wines. Pours mostly clear, vibrant gold with a tight, frothy white head. The aroma holds some spicy pine, pithy orange, other citrus, slight herbs, minerals. Light-medium sweet with lots of nice, dry citrus pith, some melon, hints of cobwebs, grapefruit, mild berries, further pine, light oily hops. Light bodied with average carbonation. Lightly resinous on the finish with further pith, some lightly toasted pale malts, grains, pine needles, tangerine, grapefruit, clean minerals. I like it. It’s quite well balanced, and the dry citrus pith character makes it quite drinkable. Nice lip-smacking hoppiness. A very good beer from a new brewery.

Craft Holborn. Keg. Hazy gold - amber beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is light and a little soft. Semi dry with fine carbonation. Light airy malt, little sweetness. Hops are a great mix of mild pine, mild skunk and mild resin, then floral citrus and tropical fruits. Lime readily identifiable. Comes together very well in to a light semi dry finish. Very nice indeed. There is a maturity about this beer I would not have expected from a new brewery albeit with the input of a very experienced brewer. Impressive.
