Visited Saturday night in the Metropolitino market.
Huge location. From the outside, biergarten like atmosphere - I found it all to be very noisy that night with big groups watching the rugby and other groups celebrating a bday. All this is mixed up with the dozens of food options in the food court.
Inside there are also some other beer options - one I saw was offering Two Tribes beers while German Kraft also had at least two other stands to pour their beers available in 1/3 up to big German steiner liter glass which means they cover the whole market. Given how crowded the whole place was, I guess they no longer brew small batches, yet the beer I had was quite tasty. Second, it also tells me the crowd remains thirsty for classic beer styles and away from the overabundance of hazies.

No service to speak of given how big the lines can get to buy a beer.

Would revisit but during a non-wknd day. Overall, still decent price for the quality of the beers.

Visited after our stop to Mondo Brewing - this place is in the same area but on the other side of the railway and under an arch.

For food, they offer the same pizza delivery options than what Mondo does - which I guess confirms my view that good food in the area is rather limited - at least for something that looks nice to have with beer.

No flight option, and smallest pour was 1/2 pint. Some snacks which were rather disappointing. Good digital display of the beers served straight from the tank.

Enjoyed our visit - I'd say on par with Mondo, but this one has a nice surrounding, with a park next to it. We were even treated to a nice firework around Battersea - unsure if it was for the Remembrance Day celebrations.

Visited Saturday evening, easy to reach from BatterSea Pwr Station or bus.
Located in an industrial-residential zone with not much else on the street - even the main street further down does not provide anything in terms of good food relief options.

Nice interior - gives the feeling of a pub with a soul - not too much aesthetics of fancy new decor as seen in other modern 'trendy places'.
Two big windows open up a nice view on the brewery - and they had an ongoing crowdfunding to expand the location and allow for a kitchen and coffee machine. In terms of food, a local pizza place can deliver, otherwise, the usual crisps classics.

Settled for a flight of 3 beers - all light and tasty falling into the good classic UK approach- really enjoyed the stout. Friendly service

Visited on my walk back to the hotel after pleasant stops at Kernel and Anspach.

Right under the archway. 8 beers and 3 casks on offer with a fairly UK approach which is a welcome change from an overabundance of hazies. Older chap appeared to be doing handling the playlist, brewer a-was also there.

Limited myself to a small 1/3 pint of a brown ale which was rather tasty - fair prices.

Ok younger waitresses who did not seem so enthusiastic about the beers or at offering any kind of recommendations. If anything, the beer potential is here but as with any beer places, the soul that inhabits the place is what sets it apart and on that, Kernel and Anspach keep the upper hand.
