"Exale Brewery and Taproom is the anti-club NYE plan. The Walthamstow spot has big sharing tables loaded up with pints of Skoosh (our preferred IPA here), hidden (heated) treetop nooks, and lively, large groups. It’s part of the Blackhorse Beer Mile too, so you can make a crawl of your night should you have the stamina. On New Year’s Eve there will be live music throughout the day, Yard Sale pizzas, and DJs until 2am. The evening party is ticketed, but the entry price does include two drinks. Still on the fence? Know that they’ve dropped hints about confetti cannons." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
