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...

Hazy golden colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have a lot of floral hop notes together with lime citrus. Decent malt flavour too. Nice balance.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up at an offie near Dalston Junction. Pours clear yellow-gold, lightly effervescent, with a creamy, white head. Quite tart and refreshing, nice lemony acidity, some salt. Light bodied with active carbonation. Clean, tart and dry on the finish, more quenching acidity, lemon, nips of grapefruit pith, more salty bite. Really drinkable, really enjoyable.

[33cl can from Tesco, Amersham.] A hazy amber pour with a loose white head; citrus aroma; grapefruit taste with a grainy body; and a sustained bitter finish. Pleasant enough, but nothing to make me want another.
