| Camden Town - Gentleman's Wit | 4.30 | | In the Belgian Witbier style. Yellowish in colour, cloudy, wheaty. It has a strong orange rind taste, plus hints of spices and maybe coriander. The chilling and kegging here does not detract from this style of beer. |
| Camden Town - Jopa | 5.30 | | A classic, English Best Bitter, with a full English hop taste. But the chilling and kegging here detracts from this beer style and both serve to dampen the flavours. |
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Camden Town - 1908 Pale Ale | 5.50 | | Based upon an interpretation of a 1908 beer from the original Camden Brewery. Amber, dry-ish and quite bitter. But the dominant taste for me was an unwanted metallic hint from the carbonation, spoiling the overall effect. |
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Camden Town - Unfiltered Hells Lager | 4.60 | | Lovely, yellow-coloured, hazy lager. Close your eyes and imagine you are dinking Kellerbier in a Bavarian beer garden – rather than London-brewed lager from a plastic cup on a rainy evening in Kentish Town. |
| Camden Town - King Crimson | 7.00 | | A superb blend of sweet red malt, high hop rate and woody sourness from a year’s maturation in former wine barrels. Stops short of exceptional status by being served under gas pressure, adding an unwanted carbonation – a missed opportunity to serve the beer straight from the maturation casks. |

The pub is found in Kentish Town, Greater London, NW5 3NN.
Camden Town Brewery is without doubt one of the most dynamic members of the burgeoning London brewing scene. Having outgrown its brew-pub status in Hampstead it moved in 2010 to a series of railway arches beneath Kentish Town West railway station. At weekends, space is cleared in the brewery and its courtyard for a bar and a series of food stalls. Camden Town Brewery, controversially in some eyes, brews little in the way of cask conditioned beer and so, consequently, little in that format is sold here – so not a place for the hard-core real ale purist. At the time of writing (July 2012) the bar is opening on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings.
