Description
Our journey began with the end of founder and owner Andy Smith's former career in fine dining. An avid home-brewer, Andy sought to make fresh exciting beer that was difficult to find here in the UK. A move from his home town of Leeds to London soon presented the opportunity to work with Andy Moffat at Redemption Brewing in Tottenham. Here he studied and learned to ply his trade as a professional brewer whilst making many friends and contacts in the fast growing UK beer scene. In 2012, one of these friends, Evin O'Riordain of The Kernel Brewery kindly offered to pass on their original brew kit as the Kernel embarked upon expansion. A short time later, some premises secured just down the railway line, and Kernel and Partizan were established as neighbors; so the brewery was born.

The brewery relocated late 2017 from Almond Road to its current location.

Today

Ten years later and much like other small breweries across the UK Partizan has faced tough trading conditions; namely the lasting effects of the pandemic, soaring inflation and increasing rent. To both protect Partizan and avoid chasing inflation and increasing prices, the brewery moved its production out of London in 2023 to a farm in Market Harborough in rural Leicestershire, locating it at long-time friends, Langton Brewery.

We are now expanding the brewery here, on the farm. By Spring 2024 we will have a new fermenter hall and a greater capacity than we ever had in London which will allow us to brew exciting new beers and to collaborate with old friends and new. Despite the draw of the countryside our roots are still in London and we will continue to meet the demands of our customers in the city that we still call home.

Quite tasty and highly drinkable. Pleasant bready pale malt sweetness, mild citrusy hop character, a little grapefruit and tangerine, some piney accents. Delicious. Wildly moreish.

Hazy yellow pour big white head. Aroma is pungent, lots of lemon and earthy thyme. The thyme seems a touch over powering adding way too much earthiness and burying the lemon. Mouth feel and carb are good. Finish is slightly tart with a medium bitterness. Lemon shines in the end with a strong lemon drop candy finish.

Jet black pour, big, frothy dark beige head. Aroma is very roasty, dark roast coffee, bitter cocoa powder, bitter licorice, and some subtle pine resins. Oily mouth feel, slightly high carb. Very, highly bitter finish, with a strong acidity, to go with alot of pine resins in the end. Interesting to say the least.

Bottiglia. L'intensità olfattiva è un timido profumo e l'esistenza olfattiva è appena percepibile. Il cappello di schiuma persistente ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media. La carbonazione è abbondante. Bollicine medio-fini costituiscono la forma del perlage. La carbonazione è vivace. Il colore è giallo torbido. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è contenuto. La forza gustativa è normale. La continuità gustativa è sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. In bocca l'aroma è quello di pane, frumento e agrumi.

Bottle from Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Aroma is cold coffee, dark malt, hops, chocolate, roast, slightly tart dark fruits, charred notes. Flavour is light sweet and slightly tart with a moderate bitterness in the finish. Body is medium. Not your typical full rich sweet Impie Stout, medium bodied with some tart fruity and hoppy notes, roasted coffee and chocolate. Not exactly what I want from an Imperial Stout, but very nice regardless.
