BOHEM GOES BOCK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

B<\/strong>ohem, brewers of authentic Bohemian-style beers in\nTottenham, have collaborated with Brouwerij Kees from the Netherlands to\nproduce a \u2018Czech Bock\u2019, called Agnes, a 7% ABV rich, deep amber brew. Petr\nSkocek, Bohem\u2019s co-founder and head brewer said, \u201cWe used Munich\n1 as our base malt, along with Pilsen, Cara Munich 3 and roasted barley, as\nwell as Tettnanger and Saaz hops, to come up with a beer that has the character\nof a great Bock, but also some of our Czech brewing magic in it<\/em>.\u201d The brewery likes to celebrate figures from\nCzech history so the beer takes its name from Agnes of Prague, a medieval\nBohemian princess known for her good works and charitable outlook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CRATE DIVERSIFY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

F<\/strong>ollowing their successful crowdfunding exercise,\nwork is progressing on the iconic canal side White Building.\nCrate are developing the upper floor to make room for the London\nbranch of Silo, the UK\u2019s\nfirst zero-waste restaurant. We are used to community pubs but Crate are\nbecoming a community brewery. The remaining space on the upper floor will house\na number of affordable studios and workspaces which, as part of their support\nfor the creative community in Hackney Wick, will be made available to artists and\nsmall businesses whose focus is around using sustainable materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

EAST LONDON<\/strong> EXPAND<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

T<\/strong>he East London Brewing Company have expanded and\nrefurbished their premises to allow for the installation of a new 25 barrel\nbrewing plant. This more than doubles their capacity. At the same time, ELB\nhave appointed a new head brewer, Adri\u00e1n Morales Maillo, recruited from the\nSpanish microbrewery, Naparbier. Look out for their new East End Lager, <\/em>a Pilsner-style beer, brewed with a Weihenstephan\nyeast strain and Tettnanger and Magnum hops. ELB are also working with a local\ndesign company on the rebranding of their products. Looking to the future, ELB\nhope to open a tap room not too far from the brewery in the spring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PARK BREWERY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

B<\/strong>ack in July, the brewery staff took part in the Kingston Dragon Boat races where they made the final and finished a creditable sixth in a field of over sixty, despite being somewhat hampered by their headgear of Viking helmets adorned with beer cans. More seriously, the company has won a Kingston Best Small Business award. A deputy brewer from Battersea Brewery has been appointed. After an experimental Lemon Sour in the summer Park are returning to the tried and tested Isabella Brown (4.4% ABV) and Park Porter (4.3% ABV) for the coming months. The tap room finally reopened on 15 November and, until Christmas, it will be open on Fridays only from 5pm to 9pm. The address is Unit 7, Hampden Road, Kingston upon Thames KT1 3LG.

THAMES<\/strong> SIDE BREWERY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

F<\/strong>irstly, apologies: this should have been in the\nlast edition. Thames Side completed their relocation in August and are now\noperating from the former Sea Scouts building riverside near Staines Bridge.\nAndy Hayward, the owner and head brewer, reports that he has much more space in\nwhich to brew on his four barrel length plant. There is also room upstairs for\na lounge with a balcony overlooking the river. Andy aims to have five of his\ncask ales on at all times as well as real ciders and quality wines (including\nEnglish sparkling) and local artisan snacks. They are open Wednesday to Sunday,\nmidday to 8pm (10pm on Friday and Saturday). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TWICKENHAM OPEN PUB<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

S<\/strong>ome months ago the operators of the Rifleman pub in\nTwickenham went out of business. I\u2019m pleased to report that the pub, a former\nlocal CAMRA Pub of the Year, has been rescued by Twickenham Brewery. They have\nit on a free-of-tie lease and as well as three of their own beers, there is at\nleast one guest beer. The address is 7 Fourth Cross Road, TW2 5EL.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
