A real shame as their brewing kit is beautiful, and a brewer with a bit of talent could make some amazing beer on it.

I wonder how variable the beers are between sites (I gather there are branches in Reading and Cardiff, too) and between batches? The cheery barman told us that the mango fruit beer (we had a taste, but didn't bother with a pint) starts out sweet and gets drier as it ages, so it's not as clinical as all the chrome and steel would have you think.

I shouldn't really judge on one tasting, but I think their black lager may be the best I've ever tasted. Mmmm, acids from alpha to gastric.

On Saturday nights, there was always a very rowdy queue of blokes twice my size in short-sleeved shirts. And on Sunday morning, pools of vomit with a heady Saaz aroma. That's part of the reason we've never been, I think. Jeff — I used to live across the road from the London branch.

On Saturday I went to the Blackheath ZeroDegrees and was really disappointed with the beer. Sadly the food wasn't much better either. It wasn't that anything was bad, it just wasn't as I remembered it from my last visit in summer. Funny. On Saturday I went to the Blackheath ZeroDegrees and was really disappointed with the beer.
