Description
With Forest Road, what you see is what you get. We don’t have big investors. We’re not owned by a multinational corporation. We started on a tiny kit in an East London backyard, and we’ve grown through hard work.
What we work hardest at is the quality of our beer. When we heard that one of the world’s greatest breweries - Russian River in Northern California - was selling its brewhouse, we knew we had to get our hands on it. We worked night and day to raise the cash, sailed it through the Panama Canal and now it has a new home, here in London.

Keg at Forest Road. It pours hazy yellow with q massive foamy white head. The aroma is fresh, bright, sweet, loads of banana candy, toasty grain, some creaminess and candy. The taste is soft, sweet, foamy banana candy throughout, straw, toasty grain, grass with a drying finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Perhaps a touch sweet, but well rounded. Decent.

Keg at The Brewery. It pours jet black with a decent tan head. The aroma is big hit of coffee beans, fresh, roasted malt, earth, bit of unami, spice and toasted nut. The taste is dry, bitter, toasty maltage, loads of coffee throughout, resin, toasted nut, umami, liquorice and a touch of tannin with a drying finish. Light+ body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Packs plenty of flavour into the abv. Decent gear.

Keg at London Brewer's Market. It pours clear yellow - gold with a thick white head. The aroma is quite sweet, grass, leaves, twig and cracker. The taste is crisp, dry, soda water, pithy lemon, soap, grass, leaves and straw with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Not so bad for a lagerbier.
