Their beers were fantastic, and the bar service was so friendly and warm. What really was fantastic though were the built in phone chargers in the tables. It's a perfect stop for travelers, and while waiting for a good charge we got to sip on some well crafted beers. I particularity enjoyed the atmosphere, especially their mural of the brewing process. I loved that they use by-products of their brewing to feed their fish! Definitely a unique place. Whenever I get an email from them with updates it makes me long to catch a cross-continental flight and pop back in to enjoy their beers!

So, we went to the UK/Ireland a few weeks ago. We went everywhere. And I was honestly surprised…read morethat the beers were like 4% ABV or less, everywhere. I'm sorry, is this the southern part of the US in the 1970s? No, I get it. They have tax laws that charge more for higher ABV beers. But that is one of the best things about Brewdog - they have higher ABV beers (and not) that ar more like what we have in the US. You idon'thave to, but if you want to have higher ABV you can. The service is amazing and they are super knowledgable and helpful. The bar itself is quite a lot like a typical American brewery. So you'll feel right at home. Brewdog is great spot for beers, really pretty descent food, and a seriously awesome staff. I will be back, both in the UK and US.

But since this place was recommended by a friend in the beer biz, I knew it would be worth the wait. Being the professionals we are, my husband and I decided that our strategy would be to order three beers and share everything. There was not going to be a second wait in that queue. A lot of beer styles are offered and we were pleased with each one that we tried (a saison, pale ale and another style... an amber, maybe?). It's worth noting that there are no public bathrooms - outdoor port-a-pots only. That's enough to get me moving after one round, long beer line or not. Beer is also available to-go, and you can skip the line and purchase right at the register.

It was one of the best Chorizo I had in a long time and all ingredients were fresh. My Camden Hells Lager was crisp, clear and very slightly biter finish - the way I like it.

The Hackney Brewery recently threw open its doors for free tours during London Beer Week. The…read morebrewery grew out of the passion and hobby of two beer enthusiasts and they have struggled to keep up with demand ever since. They even have the distinction of being the oldest brewery in East London- having registered their company only days before local favourites London Fields and Beavertown Brewery- but, unlike their counterparts, they have wittingly retained a low profile. This might not be for long, however. It is evident that the owners are aware of the brewery's enormous potential, but they are cautious about how to approach their success in a sustainable way. Peter Hills, one of the two founders, gave us the (exceedingly) brief tour of the premises; it consisted of antiquated kit, the smallest mash tun you'll ever see in a commercial brewery and a makeshift office environment that is reminiscent of a student dorm. There's a lot of charm here, however, and the lingering sense that Hackney will implode if they don't throw their hat into the craft beer race soon. This is because their beer is good. With a small set-up, you can guarantee that every batch is put through the rigours of quality control that just don't exist with larger scale systems. Each member of staff emanates devotion and love for their product. Hackney shouted a third pint for everyone on the tour and I sampled their raspberry wheat- a crisp, creamy smooth beer with a lovely aroma: a perfect summer session beer that appealed to my palate. The mosaic was heralded as the staff favourite and also delivered with a mild hoppy taste and clean finish. Hackney beer can currently be found in some local East London establishments (including our local Wetherspoon's, but it is always out), but once the owners fully commit themselves to getting the word out, you'll undoubtedly be seeing their beers in pubs across London. In the meanwhile, if you get the chance- jump at the opportunity to tour the brewery and try their beers yourself. This might just be the best underground craft beer in East London- for now.
