    Qype User (ehudph…)

    First off, I was really happy to find that a Craft Beer pub had opened in Brixton. Brixton has the reputation for being cool, quirky, and relaxed. It has the perfect atmosphere to warrant sauntering down on a Saturday morning for a tasty bite from one of the artisan joints in the village. And the addition of a pub that claims to sell craft beer would make spending a chilled-out afternoon in Brixton, a must! But now, on to the review - The pub itself is conveniently located its just behind the railway arches and you can't miss it due to the eye-catching orange sign above the door. The interior isn't bad, its a bit sparse, but that's what you can expect from a place claiming to focus on just the beer. The walls upstairs have pictures of (Mikkeller?) the various steps of the brewing process. On to the beer itself - I must say it was disappointing! What got me in the door, in the first place was the craft beer sign. However, beer has to taste good. I don't care if its mass-produced, small-brewery-destroying lager, if it tastes good, then its good beer. Craft brewers have definitely set a high standard for the brews they've been producing over the years, hence the increasing following. But, if you produce a tepid pint, which has no head, no proper carbonation, and is devoid of all flavour then, even if its craft beer its basically swill. Plus, craft beer does tend to be more expensive than commercial beer. Verdict - The pub itself is nice and conveniently located. But the beer has been disappointing! However, you can't not give people another chance. I will pay another visit soon, and if the beer is still disappointing, I would recommend you give this place a miss. After all, no matter how new and snazzy a pub is, if it doesn't serve you a decent pint, its not doing its job!

    Not too bad, good choice of beers but the beer I've ordered the was way too warm and they didn't seem to bother at all...

    Always a huge selection of craft & draught beer. Loads of seating upstairs too. They always have a Kernel on!

    The craft beer Mecca. If you are a craft beer lover then head here but make sure it's pay day as it can be an expensive night.

    Best place in Brixton to check out new and up and coming beers. Always helpful staff (such a rare find in London).

    ! Another drawback is that the food it does serve is English stodgy snacks rather than substantial main meals like the Cask
