"You’ve got to love a Londoner’s ability to see an ominous yard filled with shipping containers and think ‘bloody gorgeous place to drink a beer that tastes like a pineapple’s sensual cousin’. Dalston’s 40FT Brewery is one of our favourites of the ‘huge space, big booze selection’ genre. It has indoor and outdoor seating, there’s a mini menu from Acme Fire Cult across the lot, and in our experience a cold beer and a bowl of smoky potatoes rarely goes down badly." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
