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.

Draught keg at the Royal Albert, Deptford. Mid-gold and hazy with a film of white head and some natural carbonation. Light melony and citrus aroma. Tastes bittersweet with some citrus and a plastic, artifical aftertaste. Medium to heavy carbonation, smooth body. Nah.

Fra fat på legendariske Hole In the Wall (her har lite og ingenting blitt forandret siden jeg frekventerte denne midt på 80-tallet, til og med røyklukta sitter igjen!), med Egil: nesten helt klar gylden med fint skum helt til bunns. Mild aroma og god smak med barskog, urter, gress og honning. Balansert og myk munnfølelse og ettersmak.

Keg at CBC Hammersmith. Pours light hazed pale gold with a slim white cap. Fruity with peach & apricot. Light body with low-ish carbonation. Found this quite average but the keg had been hanging around a while I think

From tap at Hole in the Wall, Waterloo, with Holmen1 04.07.22. Clear golden. Aroma snd taste of pale malt, citrus peel, pine shoots and marmalade. Decent, but not very original.

Can shared at the Railway, Streatham, London (24/04/2022) - light hazed golden amber with a white head. Citrus fruity with notes of grapefruit and satsuma, pine needles, sweet caramel malts, piney bitter hoppy finish. Not bad.

Fine enough classic example of the style. Nothing wrong with it. Mild and drinkable. A touch on the darky earth side hop-wise. Bier kompany adventkal 2021
