I also got to have a tour around the Redemption brewery a couple of weeks back - and rather good it was too.
The London brewing scene is growing again, filling the gap made by the departure of Young's with a bunch of smaller brewers making an interesting range of beer. Andy Moffat's Redemption has jumped into the fray producing only a couple of beers, but both quite different and rather good.
Being a hoppy golden ale fan I preferred the Redemption Pale Ale, but with winter drawing in the Urban Dusk will shortly be on my go to list if I see it on. Distribution isn't massive, as Andy delivers the beer himself and has a brewery to run and more beer to make, but is hitting the pubs and bars across London quite regularly.
Also, if you get a chance to talk to Andy about beer - do so. He lead our gang of beer fans through the making process, with measuring cylinders and hydrometers appearing as well as buckets of yeast, and bags of hops and malt. He knows what he's talking about and seems happy to share. read more
