The London Fields Brewery Tap Room was a pub in [[Locale London Fields|London Fields]]. In December 2021, the brewery [https://twitter.com/LdnFldsBrewery/status/1468188588974264327 announced] that they would be closing their business, including the taproom, with immediate effect. Carlsberg reported that they are looking to sell the brand ([https://www.thegrocer.co.uk/alcohol/carlsberg-marstons-to-close-london-fields-brewery-with-view-to-sale/662637.article article in the Grocer]). The information below is retained for historical purposes. <div class="old_info"> Pub in [[Locale London Fields|London Fields]]. As made clear by the name, this is the tap room for the London Fields Brewery, which was founded as an independent in 2011 and sold to Carlsberg in 2017 (see <a href="https://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?id=London_Fields_Brewery_Tap_Room%2C_E8_3RR&version=6">older version of this page</a> for a description pre-sale). It's bigger than it looks from the outside, extending under the railway arch where trains rumble overhead. In line with this, the decor gives a nod to two perhaps more traditional railway arch users graffiti artists and light industry with a corrugated ceiling, utilitarian grey floor, and large pop-art murals on the walls. Seating is provided by picnic benches, double-length and extra-wide to match the proportions of the space. Brewing equipment is on show behind glass at the back, and a semi-open kitchen is tucked around the side of the bar. The beer on offer is all keg according to a member of staff in January 2020, they tried stocking cask, but it didn't sell, and they decided to stop in order to avoid all the waste. It's all brewed on-site aside from a couple of their higher-volume beers, which are brewed elsewhere in order to free up the on-site equipment for a wider range of smaller-batch recipes. [[Kake]] visited on a Friday early afternoon in January 2020. There were half a dozen other customers when I arrived a little before 2pm, and plenty of lively conversation going on. Music was playing, not too loud. As noted above, all the beers are keg. A half of Sisters Are Brewin' It (with 0.5% alcohol) was £2.40. Service was friendly, efficient, and helpful. Accessibility: No steps to get in, and no steps to the toilets, which consist of individual unisex cubicles including an accessible one. Most of the seating is fixed to the tables.
