Description
We opened our doors in Brixton in mid 2013 with the aim of teaching Londoners how to make beer. We have expanded operations at this site to offer up to 30 draught lines featuring our commercially available beers, exclusive nano brews and guest beers plus a large stock of cans and bottles to take home. We remain one of the very few venues in London to stock home brewers with hops, malt and yeast.

Bottle thanks to the LBL homer, Leighton. It pours near black with a thick beige head. The nose is roasted malt, juicy, toasty coconut, bounty bar and dark fruit. The taste is bitter-sweet, toasty, earthy, coffee grounds, cocoa and some tangy dark fruit with a short finish. Big foamy carbonation and mouth-feel. Aroma is pretty good, but the overly-foamy mouth-feel ruins it a bit. So-so.
