Description
We produce both cask and keg beer to the highest standards. From traditional best bitters, fermented in our open topped vessels, to hoppy IPA's fermented in our conical vessels, we aim to achieve the highest standards possible. We run a small lab in the brewery to ensure our beer is fermented cleanly, and is of the same high standard every time it comes to you. Our lab information is available to all our customers, from forced fermentation results and fining levels in cask beer to carbonation levels and yeast counts in keg beers. The Taproom at our brewery, located just off Perry Street, is designed to invite the community in Gravesend and beyond to come and see what we're up to on a regular basis, and see how we create and package our beer. The whole team share a passion for good beer, well cared for and well served. It is the aim of Iron Pier to provide great beer in the best condition we can.

On tap at Board Room Folkestone. Cloudy orange gold colour no head. Some peach aroma. Peach and some fresh plum in the mouth. Some sourness and bitterness on the finish. Odd sour. A little rubber on aroma and in flavour. Not my thing.

Keg at the Cock Tavern - Hackney. Pours lightly hazed black-brown with a creamy, khaki head. Light-medium sweet flavour with decent roasted malt character, floral hops, burnt pine, orange peel, a nip of baking cocoa. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Ashy-citrusy finish, balanced piney-earthy bitterness. Hits all the right notes.

Cask at the Waterloo Tap, 18/09/24. Golden blonde topped with a lasting just off white head, full glass lacing ensues. Nose is pale malts, straw, toasted grains, light breads. Taste comprises melon, grass, crackers, grains, soft malts. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Okay easy drinking cask affair but doesn't carry the hop presence of others in the series.
