Now very much part of the circuit around here.
London Beer Factory - Pointless Innocence | 7.20 | | From keg dispense. Soured strawberry shake. |
London Beer Factory - Rise & Decline | 6.00 | | From keg dispense. Hazy gold. Piney, bitter, resinous West Coast IPA. Very good. |

Friday evening crowds pouring in.
London Beer Factory - BA Brett Berry Sour | 8.00 | | A soured beer with blackberries and blueberries, aged in a Bordeaux barrel. Approaching wine in character. |
London Beer Factory - Fear of the Dark | 10.00 | | A slightly soured Milk Stout that has been barrel-aged for a year. A remarkable beer that tastes like a glass of Port with chocolate. High in tannins. Some sweetness in the finish. |

The first barrel-aged beers are beginning to appear here.
London Beer Factory - First Steps II - Pineapple Sour | 7.50 | | Keg. A strong, barrel-aged beer with brett sourness. Loads of pineapple. |
London Beer Factory - Dance Juice v.3 | 5.80 | | Murky, bitter and juicy. Citra,Mosaic and Ekuanot. |
London Beer Factory - XPA | 4.30 | Not Tried | It was only as I was leaving that I noticed a cask beer was available. |

This large bar has re-opened after a short closure. The bar counter is now along the right side of the arch and now has 24 beer taps, all in use I think tonight. Long lines of wooden barrels are to the left, but it is not clear whether they house maturing beer.
London Beer Factory - DAPA | 8.40 | | A seriously impressive beer from some kind of keg, although not affected by carbonation. |
London Beer Factory - Big Milk | 8.70 | | From key-keg. A sublime, strong, Milk Stout. |

An impressive new venue, although there was nothing barrel-aged actually for sale tonight – I guess it’s all still aging away. Alarmed to find that the advertised prices were per 2/3 measure, not per pint as I had expected.
London Beer Factory - DAPA | 8.40 | | From a keg of some sort, but free of over-carbonation problems. An absolutely top-notch, strong, hoppy, US-style Pale Ale. |
London Beer Factory - All Night Long | 3.30 | | From a keg of some kind – and quite fizzy. A low-strength, pale-coloured beer with a big hop content. |
