Here for a brewery visit - birthday treat from my lovely daughter. The founder and owner - Lee Hammerton - gave the rather low-key tour. All beers on retail sale were keg although cask ales are produced.
Industrial-chic setting seems to be going down well with a good turnover of customers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hammerton - N7 | 5.20 | | |
| Hammerton - Baron H Earl Grey Black IPA | 5.80 | | Really crisp, black and zesty. |
| Hammerton - N1 | 4.10 | | |
| Hammerton - Penton (or Pentonville Oyster Stout) | 5.30 | | 100 wild Maldon oysters added to each batch of this Oyster Stout - brewed to a traditional recipe. |
| Hammerton - Islington | 4.70 | | |
| Hammerton - Nut Brown | 4.20 | | Didn't find this to my liking. |
| Hammerton - Geist Weiss | 5.00 | Not Tried |

A proper bar area has now been developed within the brewery building and branded as the ‘Taproom’, opening on occasional weekends. Despite my early arrival this-evening, it is already busy. Nice looking pizzas are being sold and there are two cask beers on gravity dispense alongside a full Hammerton range in keg or bottle.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Atom - IPA | 5.60 | | On gravity dispense. US-style IPA, with sharp and bitter fruity tastes. |
| Hammerton - N7 | 5.20 | | From key-keg. A golden, fruity, US Pale Ale. |
| Hammerton - N1 | 4.10 | Not Tried |

Onwards to Islington for the Hammerton Brewery Open Day, on what is by now a scorching hot afternoon. My drinking companion has cried off and gone home with a shoulder injury. Big crowds here, slightly chaotic service, brewery tours and Peruvian food. One beer on cask and keg, plus three more on keg only.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hammerton - N1 | 4.10 | | Cask version, a Pale Ale. |
| Hammerton - Penton (or Pentonville Oyster Stout) | 5.30 | | On key-keg. A thick, black, Oyster Stout. |
| Hammerton - N7 | 5.20 | | On key-keg dispense. A stronger Pale Ale. |
| Hammerton - Islington | 4.70 | | On keg dispense. A pale, cloudy lager. Dry and bitter. |

The pub is found in Barnsbury, Central London, N7 8XH.
The original Hammerton Brewery existed from 1868 to the 1950s (although the name was revived briefly by Watney’s for a 1980s Porter). The name has now been resurrected by a member of the Hammerton family and brewing recommenced in 2014 in an industrial unit adjacent to Caledonian Road & Barnsbury railway station. In 2017 Hammerton Brewery opened a brewery tap nearby (The House of Hammerton) and the Tap Room operation here at the brewery ceased.
We have visited this pub 3 times, seen 8 different beers and tried 7 of them.
