Lots of noisy construction work going on here as development of the new taproom area nears completion. The first beer was on the house as compensation for the disturbance.
Fourpure - Morning Star 2018 | 7.10 | | A gorgeous, black, oak-aged porter. It has a creamy mouthfeel and lots of vanilla flavour. |
Fourpure - New Australia IPA | 6.00 | | Some great hop flavours in this amber-coloured IPA. |

An early evening visit for the brief period of Friday opening here. And, wow, the brewery has doubled in size since my last visit – and so has the taproom area. This will be officially ‘launched’ on February 10th. Meanwhile, there is the usual excellent selection of kegged beers available tonight.
Fourpure - Black IPA | 6.00 | | A collaboration with Almasty. Bang-on style and really lovely. |
Fourpure - Burns | 5.90 | | A golden beer, flavoured with mango and chilli. It has quite a creamy mouthfeel. Immediate chilli hit on first taste and overall the chilli dominates over the mango. |
Fourpure - Barley Wine (2017) | 10.00 | | Just a glorified taster really after being poured for me in error. Strong and sweet. |

Making the most of the short window of Friday evening opening here.
Fourpure - Session IPA | 4.20 | | Hazy gold in colour and fragrantly hoppy. |
Fourpure - Oatmeal Stout | 5.10 | | Black Stout with roasted barley and a touch of sweetness. Really good. |
Fourpure - Flatiron Red | 4.70 | | Deep red in colour, A middle-of-the-road Red I thought; I had anticipated better. |

I was sitting on a Jubilee Line train when I heard that my afternoon’s football match had been postponed due to a frozen pitch. The best Plan B I could think of was to get off at Canada Water and come here. A CAMRA friend who arrived just after me gave me a nice leaflet on the pubs of the Isle of Thanet, prompting thoughts of further future Kentish exploration.
Fourpure - Shape Shifter IPA | 5.80 | | A golden, US West Coast-style IPA from key-keg. Fragrantly hoppy. |
Fourpure - Passionfruit Wit | 5.10 | | A cloudy yellow/orange colour with a refreshing, freshly-squeezed, fruity juiciness. Lovely. Hard to believe it was alcoholic, let alone 5.1%. |
Fourpure - Flambé Banana Stout | 5.50 | | A sweet, black Stout with caramel and banana. |

I recently noticed that this taproom is opening from 4pm to 7:30pm on Fridays, a good time for me to visit after work. The place has developed enormously since my last visit and it was good to see a wall of wooden barrels, thirty-plus, full of maturing beer.
Fourpure - Optare | 6.60 | | On key-keg dispense, a collaboration beer with Cloudwater. This is a fab Black IPA, given an extra dimension by the use of Belgian yeast. |
Fourpure - Margarita Gose | 4.20 | | On key-keg dispense. Pale gold, with no head. Like the cocktail of the same name, this beer is both salty and sweet. |
Fourpure - Morning Star 2016 | 7.10 | | On key-keg dispense. An oak barrel-aged, vanilla-flavoured Porter – and every bit as brilliant as you would expect from that description. Only a bit of excessive carbonation stops this being a five star beer for me. |

Early lunchtime for a brief visit and the Tasting Rooms here are pretty busy. A wide range of Fourpure beers are available from key-keg, can and bottle.
Fourpure - Pudding Lane Porter | 5.30 | | From a key-keg. Black, with a brown head. A smooth, chocolaty Porter with some dry roastiness. |

Pre-noon visit and Robert S and I are the only customers for an hour-long visit. An impressively large brewery space, nice people and good beer. Beers are available in bottle or brewery-fresh on key keg. No cask beer is produced.
Fourpure - Oatmeal Stout | 5.10 | | A smooth, black, chocolaty stout with Goldings hop character. |
Fourpure - Cascade Saison | 5.60 | | A golden, slightly sour experimental saison, with Cascade hops in the nose. Very clean for a saison. |
Fourpure - Session IPA | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
Fourpure - Pale Ale | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
Fourpure - Amber Ale | 5.10 | Not Tried | |
Fourpure - IPA | 6.50 | Not Tried | |
