40ft Brewery

If you are looking for a cozy and casual place to enjoy some craft beer in London, you might want to check out 40FT Brewery & Taproom. This unique venue is built in repurposed shipping containers in a former car park in Dalston. The taproom has ten taps of fresh beer brewed on site, ranging from pale ales and lagers to stouts and IPAs. You can also buy bottles and cans to take away or order online. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. The taproom is open from Tuesday to Sunday, with different opening hours depending on the day.

Had dinner and drinks with a group. Food amazing, lots of vegan and vegetarian, with meat for those that wanted, so everyone was happy. They let our dog wander around and gave her water and then...the drinks...beers very tasty and cocktails perfect. Overall great buzz, attentive service. You can tell these guys love food and drink!

Thanks to all at 40ft Brewery and Acme Fire Cult for an amazing night. We arrived at 7pm on a busy Friday night to sample the beers and then had a dinner reservation at 8pm in Acme Fire Cult. We recommend arriving early as the brewery/bar/tap rooms is as authentic as it comes. If you can sneak a tour then it’s even more special. It’s located down a small alley and you walk around 30m from the main road not knowing what to expect and then you arrive at this little secret village at the bottom. Amazing atmosphere and vibes. Really cool set up. Has to be experienced to appreciate it. The beers are top notch and brewed around 20m from where you get served. Super fresh and a huge range of choice. The staff were helpful in explaining what each beer which helped us choose. We were allowed bring our beer across to the restaurant. We then walked across to Acme Fire Cult for dinner which is practically in the same space as the tap room. One of us is vegetarian and we chose 7 small plates from the menu tapas style. Can’t say enough good things about the food. So much choice and flavour. The grilled hispi cabbage and smoky potatoes were so tasty. The butter style cauliflower was my personal favourite. We were absolutely stuffed leaving. Just want to give a shout out to all the staff in brewery and restaurant who were very busy but gave us a fantastic service. We were made feel like a couple of celebs despite having only skipped in off the street. Highly recommend.

The brewery produces excellent pils, pale ales and IPAs and I would suggest to try them all even though my favourite was the Disco Pils. The outside communal space is shared with a bakery which makes nice pizzas to accompany your drinks. The space is quite large and accomodates a nice mix of people, the vibe is friendly and relaxed and the staff knowledgeable and efficient. Well done 40ft!
