Description
Set up in 1981 as Pitfield Brewery operating from 8 Pitfield Street, N1 before moving to 4 Hoxton Square, N1 in 1986. Briefly relocated to Stourbridge following a merger with Premier Midland Ales, becoming Pitfield's Premier Brewing Co in 1990 but in 1991 the company went into liquidation.

Revived in 1996 as Pitfield's Brewery at 14 Pitfield Street, N1 before relocating outside of London to Great Horkesley, Essex in 2006 and then to Moreton, Ongar in 2007.

Martin, Pitfield's brewer/owner retired in 2012 to run a pub in Newmarket. Andy Skene bought the business and continued to brew Pitfield's beers alongside his own Dominion beers. This ceased in 2018.

Golden ale with a good complex of fruity (peach, pear) flavours, leafy hop and soft malt. A good, refreshing session bitter.

Bottled. Orange colured and really cloudy with rich head. Fruity (apple & apricot) aroma. Malty and flowery, medium bodied and medium bitter. The very light mouthfeel makes it dangerously drinkable for a strong ale. Delicious!

Sampled cask conditioned at GBBF.
When I had this, it was Shoreditch Stout (the porter was 1850 London Porter); Dark brown. Malty and dry with somewhat mealy mouthfeel. Roasty with mild finish.

When I had this, it was Shoreditch Stout (the porter was Liquroice Porter); lightly hoppy, a little thin, some acidity in the finish and a dash of hops.
