East London's beer scene, poured at source
Tucked into the canal-side warehouses of east London, Hackney Wick has grown into one of the capital's most exciting craft beer neighbourhoods — a tight cluster of microbreweries and taprooms within easy strolling distance of one another.
London's craft beer boom has spread far beyond the city centre, and Hackney Wick sits right at its creative edge, where breweries share the same cobbled yards as artists' studios and waterside cafés. Because your guide is a working brewer, you get a genuine behind-the-scenes perspective on everything you taste — the ingredients, the process and the stories behind these independent producers.
- ✓ Three venues — two working breweries and a craft beer bar
- ✓ Five beers in ⅓ and ½ pint measures, so you taste more styles at a comfortable pace
- ✓ A shareable cheese platter, with a vegan alternative available
- ✓ Expert-led tasting by a local brewer
