Pillars Brewery- East London Lager

I was lucky enough to be a judge at the recent London Amateur Brewer's Lager Than Life home-brew competition hosted by Pillars. The whole team are super-supportive of the home brew community and really bent over backwards to make sure the event was a success. Whilst there I had some of their Vienna lager which was absolutely fantastic, along with a pale lager, which, I guess, is their interpretation of an NZ Pills, that was super clean with a delicious hop profile. Pillars certainly brew some fantastic lagers, I ended up taking a few bottles of their Eisbock back home, I think they are one of the only UK commercial breweries to brew this style of beer. Thanks!

An incredible afternoon! Very informative yet fun, a relaxed brewery tour, with fantastic food pairings - will definitely be back with friends and family!

Incredible tour and tasting experience! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff who you can see genuinely care about making good quality beer. The beers were all amazing. Would definitely recommend!

I visited over the weekend with a friend for the Brewery tour and had a brilliant day out! Led by the fantastic beer sommelier Rob, we learned all about the different kinds of beer while sat down enjoying them with foods he had paired with each one (including veggie options!) The tour and tasting was completely conversational with an open Q&A and absolutely no snobbery! Rob even provided recommendations and pairings based on everyone’s favourite beers. The tour felt different than other brewery tours in that you learned about all kinds of beer beyond what they make in the brewery, as well as advice on how to pair foods with each one. Overall we tried 8 different beers, and with expert knowledge and top ups being offered all around we thought the tour was fantastic value for money. We stayed around afterwards to enjoy our final drinks in the sunshine. Whether you’re going for the tour or to enjoy some drinks with friends, this is the perfect spot. Highly recommend to anyone for an afternoon out, and with so much else going on around the estate you can easily make a day of it!

Popped in by chance. Lovely little taproom and brewery. The staff were fabulous taking time to chat and explain everything. Brewery specialises in craft lagers. Really nice.

I love this place. We went as a group of four on a Saturday afternoon and drank amazing beers in the heart of the brewery operation. Pillars make excellent lagers and there is plenty of choice for people who like other sorts of beer. The people are informed and happy to explain the range.

Super hip venue tucked away in a corner of an industrial estate. Good range of pilsner, brewery on site and a couple of food vendors/trucks outside. Also classic British bar snacks inside. Nice secret spot to hang out

Had a wonderful time at the beer tasting tour yesterday. Rob was an excellent host, so knowledgeable and good fun! The food pairings and drinks were incredible. I’ll definitely come back soon! Highly recommended - great beer, great staff.
