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...

Tap at brewery. Thin, but refreshing, tropical, wheaty. Passion fruit, alright but not so exciting.

330ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Aug 19, thanks Paul for this. Pours gold with a light mist, small white head. Taste seems to concentrate on marmalade, sweet malt, a touch cloying. Pretty bad.

20th Aug 2019, Shrewsbury monthly share at Chez Sophie. Cheers to who ever brought this new beer to the table. 330ml bottle, BBE Jan 2020. Clear golden pour, white top. Mild hop front with a mini-bitterness in the finish, but not very exciting.
