(Visited July 2026) Tap room in the same brick building as the brewery. Located in a semi-industrial area (warehouses on one side of the road, apartments on the other), a 20 minute walk south from Battersea Power Station, or 20 min by bus and walk from Vauxhall. Interior in red brick and light wood, basic benches and tables. Bar at the back wall, 13 beers on tap on my visit, all keg. A couple of guest beers, but mainly from their own production. Good service. Crowded on my visit, so spilling out on the pavement (well, England played Argentina in the FIFA World Cup semifinal, so ... surprise!). A bit out of the way, but worth a visit if in the area.
