Camden Town was already one of the most dynamic and ambitious of ’s new crop of breweries. Now it’s reaffirmed its place in London’s beery consciousness still further by turning over one of its arches under Overground for a showcase brewery bar, another tactic borrowed from US craft brewers. Nine keg taps dispense the brewery’s regulars Hells (both filtered and unfiltered), Ink, Pale and Wheat, plus various specials and seasonals. Guest taps may occasionally be given over to fellow London or imported US brewers. lines are absent – the brewery produces very little in the format, but one-off casks may appear occasionally on the bar. All the bottled beers are available to take away as well as drink in, with plans to add ‘growlers’ for take away draught beer and a second fridge for guest bottles.

It’s a great use of space – the arch is painted clean white, with simple bench seating and shelves and beer posters for decoration. A glass front looks out onto an outdoor courtyard where rotating popup food providers ply their trade, and a park beyond. On a late afternoon in good weather the whole place proves a surprisingly effective sun trap. It’s popular not only with keen beer hunters but locals who’ve found it a pleasant place to install themselves for a few hours. Free brewery tours are best booked in advance. For more about the brewery see p268.
