40FT Brewery & Taproom

"There’s no lack of shipping container-filled yards around east London but one that’s really worth going to is in Dalston, where you’ll find 40FT Brewery. The taproom is a shared indoor and outdoor space with room for around 100 people and there are 10 beers on tap, as well as every other beverage under the sun. Food-wise, 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

"There’s no lack of shipping container-filled yards around east London but the only one really worth going to is in Dalston, where you’ll find The Dusty Knuckle, 40FT Brewery, and Acme Fire Cult. The shared and covered outdoor space has room for 150 people (!) and some brilliant beer options, not to mention food ones, on their doorstep. The taproom is open towards the end of the week and its new-ish grill-focused restaurant Acme Fire Cult is serving some serious slabs of barbecued meat and some seriously good fermented squash hummus." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

"There’s no lack of shipping container-filled yards around east London but this one in Dalston is where you’ll find The Dusty Knuckle bakery, BBQ restaurant Acme Fire Cult, and 40FT Brewery. There is some perfectly pleasant indoor seating but really you want to be out on the heated and covered terrace. This is where brilliant beers and alcohol-free pints flow between mates and Acme Fire Cult’s hefty slabs of tender Tamworth pork and fermented squash hummus are fought over. The taproom is open Tuesday to Sunday, and the restaurant is open every day apart from Monday. " - Jake Oliver, Sinead Cranna
