Closed brewpub
1 Bishopsgate EC2N 3AQ (City of London)
First sold beer: November 1999
Ceased brewing: by end 2005
One of a smattering of upmarket London venues that experimented with brewing in the late 1990s and early 2000s, this was a substantial pan-Asian restaurant and brewpub in a Grade II-listed former branch of the Royal Bank of Scotland in the heart of the City. Set up with the help of original head brewer Peter Frost, previously at Freedom and later at Meantime, it had a 10 hl plant supplied by Caspary, Germany. At its peak it offered four keg beers, in styles optimised to match the food like pils and wheat beer. The building has since returned to banking use and is now an HSBC.
