Taking inspiration from our flagship beer, The Porter, we wanted to brew a truly sessionable London Porter.
What better way to create an effortlessly drinkable dark beer than to make it nitro. The resulting creaminess and smooth mouthfeel balance perfectly with the subtle roasted notes of coffee and chocolate.
The beer brings together the rich history and heritage of London Porters, with the modern techniques of brewing nitro beers. The result is a beer that is easy drinking, without sacrificing its character. Read Less

A modern interpretation of a classic Ordinary bitter, more colour but the same lightness in body and immeasurable drink-ability. All that was needed to complete the beer was to perfectly balance the malt and sweetness with hop bitterness and aroma.

For me there was only one option for bittering and late hopping with a cheeky New World twist to help the aroma. The level was set with East Kent Goldings, providing mellow bitterness but enough to get the IBUs to the desired amount. A late addition of EKG for that fruit cake character. The New World twist comes in the way of throwing in a liberal amount of Chinook during the whirpool. Adding an extra dimension of spice and pine resin.

The original session beer, Ordinary Bitters formed a cornerstone of English drinking culture. Perfectly balanced between malt sweetness and hop bitterness, our interpretation is brought up to date with the use of US Chinook hops. Delicate hop aromas of pine, spice and dark fruits are followed by a smooth, full bodied palate with notes of biscuit and caramel. Brewed with EKG and Chinook. Read Less

A big, smooth, balanced stout brewed with sea salt, chillies and cacao nibs. Full bodied with a touch of salt. Scotch Bonnet chillies give at first a fresh fruitiness and then lead to a gentle warming. The whole beer is balanced by a small addition of cacao nibs, used to add a smoothness to the body, rather than to impart a chocolate character. A perfect match for oysters, but equally as delicious on its own. Brewed with Bramling Cross and Summit. Read Less

Inspired by the Helles lagerbiers of Munich, this is a true London lager. German malt, European malts and London water come together to produce a smooth, crisp and flavourful beer. In the spirit of Das Reinheistgebot, we use the spunding method to carbonate our lager naturally, while an extended cold storage in horizontal lager tanks gives our beer time to condition and mature. As all true lagers must.

The inspiration behind the artwork comes from our move to our new brewery in Croydon. It is located very close to Croydon Airport, the UK's only International airport between the wares. It was also where the legendary pilot Amy Johnson took off to become the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia in 1930. Read Less

The fruit follows through onto the palate, with the soft, biscuity malt base developing towards the finish. Rounded out with a gentle bitterness, The Golden Bitter is the perfect balance between traditional English brewing and contemporary hop development Read Less
