Evening until close which I felt was premature at 2300 for this area. Had been subpoenaed by Jack William to visit here to wean me off visits to nearby The Angel.

I reverted to Plan A and came here for lunch, albeit a rather late lunch by now. Pleasant and relaxed. I came away with a much better impression of both pub and beer than I did on opening night.

Guest-list preview night for this new brewpub venture which opens to the public this weekend. Busy. Lots of glowing reviews on the internet today, so I’m somewhat reluctant to say we found the place a bit corporate and the beer a bit lacklustre.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Brewhouse and Kitchen (Islington) - Spandau B4.00AcceptablePale in colour. The hoppiest of the beers we tried here.
Brewhouse and Kitchen (Islington) - Arc Angel3.60AcceptableA quite bitter, amber-coloured, session beer.
Brewhouse and Kitchen (Islington) - Myddleton3.60AcceptableA Blonde beer. Very sweet. Some hop character.

The pub is found in Islington, Central London, EC1V 1NG.

This pub was present by 1838 as the Blue Coat Boy, which, by the 1980s, was part of the Allied Breweries’ empire. It was demolished in around 1991 and a new, spacious replacement built at the foot of a new development around Angel tube station. The pub has since been through a number of names and themes, including as the Blue Angel. Relaunched in October 2014 as the Brewhouse and Kitchen, it is part of a chain of brewpubs of that name – the others being in Bristol, Dorchester, Portsmouth and London's Highbury. The brewery equipment here was previously in use at the short-lived Botanist Brewery in Kew. 8 handpumps.

We have visited this pub 24 times, seen 17 different beers and tried 14 of them.
