A large, mostly female group were just finishing an upstairs beer tasting as I arrived. They had clearly had a good time and came downstairs to buy up much of the stock of bottles and buy a few more beers to sample from the well-stocked bar.
BeerABVScoreNotes
London Beer Lab - Simcoe Pale Ale5.30ExcellentHazy gold in colour. A slight sweetness which offsets the Simcoe hops really well.
London Beer Lab - Simcoe Catcher7.00ExcellentA turbid, golden beer – almost a London Murky. This is a Rye IPA. Quite sweet, fruity and smooth.
East India - Lady Grey Sour5.30ExcellentA sour, tea-infused Lager! (I don’t overuse exclamation marks, but that deserved one). And, oh my goodness, it is gorgeous.

I met Dave and Robert here after work. A delightful, friendly little bar with a massive range of beer available.
BeerABVScoreNotes
London Beer Lab - Darker Daze Imperial Stout – Barrel Aged Scotch8.50ExceptionalBrewed here at the Brixton site – on key-keg dispense. A very serious, very strong Imperial Stout. Pitch black, with a smoky, woody flavour from ageing in a Scotch whisky barrel.
London Beer Lab - I.B.U. Baby5.70ExcellentBrewed here at the Brixton site – on key-keg dispense. A very bitter, very heavily-hopped, Brown Ale. I thought it was superb.

The pub is found in Brixton, Greater London, SW9 8BP.

London Beer Lab have an open-source brewery at Loughborough Junction and also a small bar and bottle shop here in a railway arch close to Brixton Station. There are two little tables inside and some benches outside. Upstairs is London Breer Lab’s second brewery, a small set up for experimental brews. Beer is sold in pretty much any format you can think of except cask. Products from London’s smallest and most obscure breweries are stocked.

We have visited this pub twice, seen 5 different beers and tried them all.
