Fresh modern craft beers, curated wines, cocktails, and food.















"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 dishes from Acme Fire Cult’s limited menu are fought over." - jake missing, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
"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
"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
