Description
Duncan Sambrook founded Sambrook’s Brewery in 2008 when there were just five breweries operating in London. With his vision of bringing brewing back into the heart of London, Duncan pulled ex-brewer David Welsh out of retirement and back into his dungarees and wellies. To

Since 2008 we have been brewing beer in Battersea, but after 12 years on our current site we have decided to relocate a mile up the road to Wandsworth Town. Later in 2020 we will be brewing beer on the site of the Ram Brewery where we will launch our new tap room and visitor centre.

Cask at Buckingham Arms, London SW1. An amber coloured pour with a small white head on top. Hardly any aroma to speak of. Tastes vaguely hoppy, malty, fruity. Thin, bland and dreadful. My god, British beer really needs to up its game.

[Cask at Milton Keynes Beer Festival 2011] Dark amber, loose white head, very sulphurous with green leafy hops and vanilla. After initially hating it, I upped my mark a little whilst drinking it, but still found it unpleasant.

Cask at the Wallington 2011 Beer Festival. It pours very dark brown, with a decent beige head. The nose is chocolate, caramel, roasted malt and light smoke. The taste is caramel, toffee, cardboard, cola, chocolate, dark fruit, wood and light smoke, with a big dry finish. Thin to medium body and soft carbonation. Not bad.
