​One of the grandfathers of the London craft beer scene, Kernel Brewery was founded by Evan O'Riordain back in 2010. His mission then was to brew beer worthy of attention, and was one of the first UK breweries to brew huge, hop-forward IPAs. Now internationally recognised as one of the best breweries in the world, Evan's beers changed the way that people drank in the capital and was the inspiration behind most of the new wave of London breweries. They still brew in small batches and now produce wonderful sours and fantastic porters and stouts. 

One of my favourite highlights of the beer calendar "Hop City" was a year ago today as my phone reminded me this morning. No doubt we'll make up for it and all pull together a great festival once this is all over. A big thanks goes out to all those breweries still managing to produce fantastic beer during this period, and also good luck to all those who have knuckled down hibernating until this is over. 

Northern Monk have managed to keep things going and we have a new exciting release Monday morning - this beer sounds fantastic and it's extremely limited so you need to be quick !  ​We have found some Heathen stock if you miss out.

We're busy sourcing fresh great beers 24/7 so watch this space!

Support local businesses - they're still producing new fresh beers under lock down. It's challenging times, they've lost their tap room, keg and cask sales but those rent bills are still coming in. We don't want any these businesses to go - remain in your compound and drink fresh! We're in this together x

Aunt Bessie’s has partnered with Northern Monk Brewery on a duo of limited-edition roast dinner beers. 
The beers are themed around the courses of a “classic” roast dinner, the first being Roast Dinner Brown Ale (5.7% abv) and the second Jam & Custard Pale Ale (5% abv), which is billed as incorporating the flavours of an Aunt Bessie’s Jam Roly Poly.
The Roast Dinner Brown Ale was brewed with Aunt Bessie’s Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes, while the Jam Roly Poly was brewed with plum, apricot and strawberry. They have launched online priced at £3.50/440ml or £6/2x440ml.

Apex Brewing Company Sweden make aroma-driven, fresh, intense and hoppy beers.
Small batch brewing and aggressively hop forward. What they might lack in size they make up for in flavor.
Apex Brewing Company’s focal point is essentially IPAs but they are constantly
evolving and reinventing. They brew beers that are unfiltered, unpasteurised and naturally hazy as a result of recipe choices and brewing decisions.

More classic local stock refreshes - here's a few back in today

The suns out, what better than kicking back in the garden (no garden, get that window open). Chill and drink the freshest just brewed beer. 

Some great new packs at brilliant prices. For the price of a night out you can stay in and drown in a diverse pack of beer. These packs are super limited, good beer stock is like trying to buy bread flour and yeast at the moment.
