Another 2 new brewpubs in London

7/10/14

First one here is the Brewhouse & Kitchen at Angel. As if Islington needed another alehouse!

In the same chain as the one in Portsmouth which I visited in February (see here )






Just around the corner from Angel tube station.

2 pics of the interior



Beers available on my visit. Chaplin and Spandau B were only ones brewed on site, rest at Portsmouth. There is a third pub in the chain at Dorchester.
I had Chaplin, Spandau B and Black Swan which were all good.










And the brewery itself.





I think this may be worth visiting on a regular basis.

The Antelope in Surbiton opened about 8 months ago with the promise of a brewery in converted stables at the rear of the pub. My blog about the pub is here.

The brewery is called the Big Smoke brewery



The brewery started brewing about 6 weeks ago. 2 of their beers were on today.



Both very good beers, the Amber had a zingy taste combination of hops brewed using German malts I found out later and the Porter was full bodied yet very smooth for the style.

I asked to take some photos in brewery and here are the results

and some photos of the cold store









Both welcome additions to ever expanding London brewer and pub scene
