Description
CRATE was established in 2012 when the Olympics were in full swing just over the canal, and Hackney Wick was changing fast. CRATE thrives on creativity, free thinking, and working hard. The experimental brewhouse is where all the Limited Edition beers are created.

Latest news November 2020:
The situation is complex, but it seems that there were two separate companies, one for brewing and one for the bar business. Both hit financial trouble, and the brewing company went into administration. Truman's, needing a new site due to delays with their new brewery, are currently brewing in Crate's old brewing space. But the website is still online and Crate beers are still available...

Flaske 0,33l spandert av og delt med Rune under seanse hos ham 7 Jan 13. Gylden. OK luftig skum. God fruktig aroma. Plommer. Smaken det samme, men går over i en frisk syrlig bitterhet.

330ml bottle picked up at Kris Wines in London. Shared with Finn at a rating session back home. Clear, amber coloured body. Firm off-white head. Aroma of sweaty hops and mid-sweet malts. Plain hop fruity taste of orange and grapefruits added by earthy malts. Smooth bitter endnotes. Medium bodied. Satisfying (Tromsø, 07.01.2013).

Bottle at Earl of Essex, London. Thanks to Jack for sharing. Pours crystal clear gold with a fine, white foam head. Lots of herbal, floral hops in the nose, some pale malts, biscuits. Medium sweet flavor, lots of doughy pale malts, mellow herbal bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Clean finish, lightly dry, with dry white bread, floral bitters. Quite enjoyable.

Bottle at home in London. Pours perfectly clear, red-gold with a strong, frothy white head. Nose holds sweet, bready malts, some ripe fruits, berries, perhaps a nip of cheese. Medium sweet flavor with a prominent malt foundation, upon which sit a smattering of leafy hops, ripe orange and mango, perhaps some strawberry, hints of pine, definitely some berries. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Fairly sweet and lightly sticky to finish, with a surprisingly bitte edge that borders on abrasive, with more bready, slightly cerealy malts, some tangy prunes, toasted grass. It’s OK and pretty interesting.

Cask at Craft Beer Co - Clerkenwell on 19th October 2012. Copper-amber with off-white foam. Hoppy aroma with cheesy yeasts. Richly hoppy liquid with herby hoppiness, fine grapefruits and citric zest. Curious apple note late, but this did not kill the beer. Fruity, zesty finish and a zingy mouthfeel.
