Early evening and already busy.
BeerABVScoreNotes
German Kraft - Edel Weiss5.30ExcellentA completely authentic Weiss.

Early evening with Robert S. The whole Mercato is crammed with people tonight – indeed I think some of my own work colleagues are tucked away in a corner somewhere eating their Christmas lunch, although I do not see them.
BeerABVScoreNotes
German Kraft - White Bock6.80ExcellentA great, slightly sweet, strong wheat beer. For some reason Boris Johnson appears on the pumpclip, which is initially off-putting.
German Kraft - Smoko5.50GoodA pleasantly smoky beer in the Bamberg style.

There are quite a few Oktoberfest events going on in London just now and, although I’m about two weeks late for the party here, there are some special beers still available from Anspach & Hobday and Mondo breweries as well as those brewed on site.
BeerABVScoreNotes
German Kraft - Fritz Taube5.90ExcellentA murky, amber-coloured, authentic Weissbier. Bananas and cloves, creamy and strong.
Mondo - India Pale Weizen6.50ExcellentA soft, wheaty, strong and hoppy beer. Interesting.
German Kraft - O5.60GoodAmber in colour, this is a classic German Festbier. Malty sweetness.

The Mercato is thronged on a Thursday evening and this brewery seems to be popular and growing.
BeerABVScoreNotes
German Kraft - Hopfen Kiss5.40ExcellentExcellent. Strong and smooth and creamy with a great hop balance. Anglo-German Pale Ale - a whole new category perhaps.

My 52nd London Brewery/Tap Room visited this year and probably my last new one. Given that there are in excess of 100 breweries in London, I’m going to have to make this a two year project.
BeerABVScoreNotes
German Kraft - Heidi Blonde5.20GoodA good, crisp, golden, Helles-type beer.
German Kraft - Dinkel Bock7.50GoodA golden, malty, strong beer.

The pub is found in Elephant & Castle, Central London, SE1 6DR.

A microbrewery established in December 2017. The brewery is located within the Mercato Metropolitano development on Newington Causeway. Gleaming brewing equipment stands behind the bar counter and there are dedicated trestle tables for the brewery which is situated in a little alcove off the Mercato. German-style beers are brewed and they are served in the German way (i.e. don’t expect any cask beer).

We have visited this pub 5 times, seen 9 different beers and tried them all.
