With over two decades of experience in hospitality, we have the insider’s understanding of the drinks industry, and the technical knowledge required to create one-of-a-kind brews. Rather than seeing beer as an established product in an established industry, we see it as a drink with no end of potential and variety. Hop Kettle Brewing Co. represents our means of exploring the possibilities of brewing, using a diverse range of ingredients to create beers with unique flavour profiles.

Craft 100 at Craft Clapham. Cask. Hazy gold beer, few pale cream colour bubbles looking lonely. Light palate, mild fine carbonation. Whisper of sulphur. Touches orange and lemon. Marmalade. Light finish. What elderflower?

Craft 100 at Craft Clapham. Cask. Hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth with superfine carbonation. Semi dry. A mild sweetness to the malts. Touch of sulphur. Good marmalade hops, lesser orange and lemon. Little floralness. Bitterish semi dry finish with a hop spice linger. Decent but could do without the sulphur.

Cask at craft 100 Craft Beer Co. Caramel red coloured pour with a halo of light tan head. Aroma is big bourbon vanilla, booze and sweet caramel. Flavour is sharp sour cranberry and red berry, apple skin, wood and hot alcohol. Doesn’t sit well with me. Palate is sharp, spicy berry, slight sweet. Weird beer. Some cola.

Cask gravity at Craft 100. It pours clear amber with a small white head. The nose is fresh, floral big elderflower, brioche, fruity, orangey citrus and candied peel. The taste is bitter, big, floral, elderflower, mild astringency and straw with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Not bad.

Cask gravity at Craft 100. It pours deep brown with a small beige head. The nose is earthy, wood, sweet vanilla, coconut water, charred wood, whisky and mild sourness. The taste is bitter-sweet, tangy, wood, vanilla, coconut, leather, apple skin, must and earth with a very dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Smells good, but a bit tangy for my liking.
