  • Forza! – 4.5%ABV (keg) – Fruity Session Pale Ale. Pale and Cara malts give this pale ale a firm foundation to allow the layers of US hops to shine. Massive late hop additions of Galaxy, Citra, Mosaic and Mandarina Bavaria give pronounced tropical fruit flavours, which are accentuated by the dry hopping and balanced by a smooth bitterness
  • La Vie en Rose – 4.0%ABV (keg) – mixed fermentation sour with Pilsner malts, hibiscus flowers, raspberries and styrian cardinal hops for a delicate raspberry sorbet kinda thing

  • CAMDEN – Strawberry Hells Forever – 4.6% ABV (33cl can) – Strawberry Lager – We have a confession. Strawberry Hells isn’t really forever. Because we brew this beer with British strawberries, we can only make it in the summer. So while it’s tart, crisp and well rounded, it’s not around for long. We could have called it ‘Strawberry Hells sometimes’ but it didn’t have the same ring to it
  • DE LA SENNE – Taras Boulba – 4.5% ABV (33cl bottle) – Belgian IPA – Light blonde with 4.5% alc., generously hopped with the finest aromatic hops, giving it a very refreshing character and a scent reminiscent of citrus

Coppery blond, the finest aromas and a strong bitterness transform this beer into a thirst-quencher with no equal, just the way it was created
  • FRANK BOON – Boon Oude Gueze – 7.0% ABV (37.5cl bottle) – Gueze – Discover the fruity grapefruit and cheese-like flavour with a touch of Muscat grapes. Let yourself be pleasantly surprised by the round body. The sour mellowness and touches of dry oak are characteristic. The colour is light-yellow/amber, crowned with a firm head. The aftertaste is long, dry and intense
  • HITACHINO NEST – White Ale – 4.0% ABV (35cl can) – Wit – This White Ale is brewed with wheat malt, and flavored with coriander, orange peel and nutmeg
  • MAGIC ROCK – Fantasma – 6.5% ABV (33cl can) – Gluten free IPA – A dank and juicy IPA using Golden Promise, wheat and Cara Munich malts in the mash for a sweetly smooth body. For the hops we judiciously bittered with Magnum in the kettle followed by Citra T90 in both the whirlpool and in dry-hopping. The aroma/flavour is fruit-filled, dank and resinous, with plenty of tropical mango giving a moreish drinkability. Fermented with our house American ale yeast (WLP001) for a refreshingly clean finish, this IPA is also our first gluten-free beer using Brewers Clarex®
  • MIKELLER – Drink’in The Sun – 0.3% ABV (35cl can) – Low/No alcohol – Rich and hoppy with nice tropical fruit notes to take your mind off the lack of alcohol!
  • NORTHERN MONK – Heathen – 7.2% ABV (44cl can) – IPA – The American-bred Citra hops made their entrance into the industry with a bang, taking the craft brewing scene by storm with their otherworldly tropical fruit flavour and aroma. Our take on this juicy hop takes the best of its exceptional characteristics to brew a bold yet balanced IPA. A simple base of British pale malt is coloured by small kettle additions of our UK and US hops blend for a soft, fruity bitterness
  • ORVAL – Orval – 6.2% ABV (33cl bottle) – Low/No alcohol – A world-class Belgian Trappist pale ale. Famous for its beautiful “Belgian lace” left on the glass from its huge head, this orangey-amber coloured ale is as complex as they come. It’s smooth yet crisp, tart yet dry. It carries with it flavours of lemon rind, freshly-cut hay, notes of spice and aromas of flowers and lemon
  • SCHLENKERLA RAUCHBIER – Helles Lagerbier – 4.3% ABV (50cl bottle) – Smoked Lager – Brewed with fine Bavarian aroma hops from the area around the city of Nürnberg. It’s lagered in century old caves underneath the historic Schlenkerla brewery and maltings. Schlenkerla Helles is boiled in the same copper kettles and bottom fermented by the same yeast as the historic Schlenkerla Smokebeer. Its subtle smokiness without using smoke malt makes “Helles Schlenkerla Lager” a unique representative of the classic lager beer style “Bavarian Helles”
  • STILLWATER – Classique – 6.0% ABV (35cl can) – Farmhouse Ale – A postmodern deconstruction of the American industrial lager made with naughty ingredients like corn and rice, completed with pilsner malt and lots of your favorite old-school American hops and farmhouse ale yeast.. “your Grandfather’s new beer”
  • STONE BREWING (USA) – Tangerine Express – 6.7% ABV (35cl can) – Tropical IPA – An india pale ale packed with whole tangerine & pineapple. A tropical IPA that transports you to a hop-induced state
  • TINY REBEL – Gin & Juice – 4.5% ABV (33cl bottle) – Botanical Pale – Bucket loads of juniper berries, citrus peel and aromatic spices give the beer a delicious, dry note, which is balanced out by the juicy fruit flavours from some punchy hops. It’s like an afterparty in your mouth!
  • TRACK – Half Dome – 5.3% ABV (33cl bottle) – American Pale Ale – They added lime zest to the kettle and the dry hop to give it a little extra edge & hopped it extensively with Ekuanot, Vic Secret & Galaxy. The big punchy hops give way to a delicate citrus finish. A totally crushable killa
  • UP FRONT – Ahab – 6.0% ABV (33cl can) – Stout – A complex, deep & rich fusion of dark malts w/ the fruity hop finish of an American Stout. Roasted chocolate & coffee malt notes, balanced w/ a fruity & spicy hop finish. Unfined, unfiltered & vegan friendly
  • UP FRONT – Ismael – 6.0% ABV (33cl can) – IPA – Showcases the subtly sweet malt characteristics, heady hop notes & robust bitterness of an American IPA. Bitter, floral, piney, resinous, fruity & dank with a clean and crisp malt backbone. Unfined, unfiltered, & vegan friendly
  • WILLIAMS BROS – Roisin – 4.2% ABV (33cl bottle) – Tayberry Ale – We brew a light, crisp blonde ale and add bucket loads of fresh Tayberries into cold tank & leave the two to mingle for 3 weeks. Róisin pours champagne pink with sweet hop & berry aromas which also carry through to the taste, with a satisfyingly lightly tart finish

London Vegan Beer Fest 2018 was a huge success

Wow. What a day.

The day after a big event like London Vegan Beer fest is what I imagine the day after a wedding might feel like.

We work extremely hard for months and months to make London Vegan Beer Fest a reality. We want it to be a day to remember for our guests but it all seems to be over so quickly.

I popped over to Instagram this morning and collated some of the best pics posted by attendees yesterday.

There was beer. A lot of beer. There was an incredible line up of food. There was an amazing and raucous karaoke room. There was face painting.

Actually, this was more fun than a wedding!

Check out the photos below and be sure to buy tickets for our Coventry, Glasgow and Sheffield versions of this event online here.
