About
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.

Small creamy offwhite head. Pale coppery body. Light milky floral aroma with fruity notes. Dry-sweet floral caramelly strawy taste with herbal hoppy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft, smooth mouthfeel. Dry-sweetish floral fruity aftertaste with papery herbal notes. Nice. Intensely drinkable, and very traditional. (0.5l cask at The Sun Inn, Barnes, London.)
