This was the very first branch of the chain which now also has branches in Dalston, Kings Cross and Walthamstow. He was an engaging character with a keen interest in beer. Milo moved on and upwards within the B+B group but has now set up his own venture, the Standard Brew Co.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as managing a bar, Milo was also a keen home brewer and had a wish to convert his at-home recipes into something more commercial for a wider audience. But, rather than set up a physical brewery, Milo has established what he plans to be a customer-owned, subscription based enterprise called the Standard Brew Co.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"765\" height=\"516\" src=\"https:\/\/londondrinker.camra.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-37.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/londondrinker.camra.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-37.png 765w, https:\/\/londondrinker.camra.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-37-300x202.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 765px) 100vw, 765px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I was fortunate to be sent some samples of the first publicly available beer in 440ml cans. It was called IPA #003 and very pleasant it was too. I assume #001 and #002 were trial brews. My better half\u2019s tasting notes follow: \u2018Fresh lemony nose with a little zest, notes of mango and sweet biscuit. These are in the flavour complemented by piney hops which become more spicy in the warming dry, bitter finish\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how does the venture work? Subscribers will be sent a six pack of new, small batch IPAs every month. The beers will all be IPAs in style, although it is intended that each IPA will be different. Subscription costs \u00a320 a month, plus shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beers will arrive on or around the 22nd of each month. In addition, subscribers will receive shares in the business, awarded to anyone who completes a full year\u2019s subscription, every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While at B+B, Milo struck up a relationship with the One Mile End Brewery in Whitechapel, which is where he is brewing the beers. Perhaps as a thank you to his former employer, a keg version of the beer was on tap at B+B Willesden Green in the week before Christmas. At \u00a34.50 a pint it was good, tasty value.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For further details go to www.standardbrewco.co.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>John Cryne<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Editor\u2019s note: This article should not be taken as a recommendation.
