No proper dinner, which makes it hard for us to justify three taxi rides as opposed to just two. But I managed to convince the gang to give it a try and as luck would have it, we were able to catch a ride later to a proper restaurant. Lots and lots and LOTS of beer choices here. Not only a few of the mass produced types, but they had a few cask ales on tap. And of course, their own Fat Cat Brews. I started off with one of the real ales - something called "Bitter & Twisted" which I'd never seen before. Good stuff. But who comes to a brewery pub and has something from somewhere else? So for number two, it was Fat Car's Honey Ale. Hand-pulled and absolutely lovely! Inside tables and some outside in their beer garden. They do have nuts and crisps, but again, no proper food. We'll be back. I really want to try their Cougar (a pale beer with lager malt) and the 8% "La Chouuffe".

Cozy - like a Starbucks inside but better - and they serve beers!!!!! The parking here in the Wynn is a bargain at 20 pence (a quarter for my US buddies).

What a difference a half century makes (OMG I am getting old!)

The Fallen Angel Brewery is as good as it gets. They relocated to new premises at East Hoathly…read moreabout a year back and this has allowed for incresed production of some of the finest ales in the county. The ales are all brewed in small batches and the final fermentation takes place in the bottle. This means that you are getting a PROPER ale that has seen no chemicals or untoward processes. Many of them are also vegan friendly. The owners are very active at events in the county and I have had a couple of great chats at the Grape and Grain and the Chilli Festival recently. They are clearly passionate about their produce and if you try one of their offerings you will see why. They brew a range of classic IPA's, porters, weissbeers, mead and chilli beers. The 'Black Death' is brewed with a generous amount of naga chilli's and this makes a great present for something a little different. Their website lists the stockist of the ales in the area (they only brew in bottle and not by the cask) and you may also order directly off thier website. I really cannot heap enough praises on the Fallen Angel ales and their meads. Take pride in your county and get a selection in today, you will not be disappointed!

We were one of only 2 parties here on a hot summer day ! It's probably a lot better when it has a crowd but we felt like we almost had to whisper. Staff were highly unfriendly and never saw them smile - almost looked like they had been forced to work against their will and customers were just too much for them!! Beer was great - I had a Kaleido IPA which was surprisingly good for a British IPA! They had pizza but kitchen was not open for lunch until 1pm. Great place but staff and atmosphere ruined it !!

Kid friendly but no kids menu…read more My wife, daughter and I were walking the Camden Market and were looking for food. I had been drinking Camden Hells Lager since I've been in the UK, so when we saw the Camden Town Brewery, we decided to stop and get a bit to eat. It is in a great spot, right on the Camden Locks, in the heart of the Camden Market. It isn't much to look at once you walk in, pretty standard. Same goes for the cocktail offering. The cocktails on their cocktail menu mostly contained Beefeater Gin, but they were out of Beefeater Gin and said they couldn't substitute for one of the other Gins they had in the wall, which was quite a few, so that was disappointing. We were a little worried there wasn't a kids menu but we got the Cotswold fried chicken, without hot sauce and it was incredible. My wife and I shared the fish and chips and it was very good as well. We were a little underwhelmed when we walked in but were very satisfied and pleased with the food. We would comeback for the ambiance but definitely would for the food.

The place is in a bit of a random spot, I wasn't too keen on our walk there but we made it. We ordered a pint as we were early, their speciality Cake boy, a hazelnut beer I wasn't too keen on it and wished I haven't ordered a whole pint. Plus it was expensive £13 for two pints! It should be cheaper directly from the brewery. Also i definitely wouldn't have ordered a whole pint if I had known I was going to have to chug the thing as we weren't allowed to take drinks on the tour with us! This is very different from US brewery tours and they usually welcome drinking on the tours. However I understand why, as the tour starts out in their private tap room, where you drink and taste all their different beers on tap. I think we tried around 5-6 beers, we even got to still taste their stout even though they had ran out of it on draft. They actually opened bottles of it, to pour for us -- I was impressed and their stout was nice, it's different from others stouts as I'm not a stout drinker. The pours were a third of a pint each too. The tour in whole was 2 hours but didn't actually last that long. The tasting lasted around an hour -- this is something I haven't experienced at US breweries, where the staff go into soo much detail about each beer and taste them with you. Usually a brewery tour is only 20-30 minutes touring the facility. This tour was more like bourbon tours I have been on. The actual tap room we were in was full of Michael Jackson's (the beer critic) glass collection -- cool or what? After the tasting we finally toured the facility, which lasted around 20 minutes or so. The tasting was better than the tour, I could have skipped the tour, their was nothing special. As traditional with British health and safety laws, we were required to wear safety goggles on the tour, even though it was the evening and nothing was happening. One thing that did disappoint me, was you weren't able to keep a tasting glass after the tour, you had to buy one from the gift shop. Also as I'm not up to date on British craft beer, I was surprised to learn that Meantime sold out to SAB Miller a few years ago and then was later sold to a Japanese company. However though we enjoyed the tour overall (I think it was all the beer -- lol). We stayed after the tour finished, had another pint and actually ended up chatting to our tour guide for the evening. We had a great time.
