London Fields is a very pleasant IPA - American hoppy - Chinook, Centennial and Columbus will have to try t'other one Beavertown but I believe it has Rock n'roll heritage, one of the sons of Led Zep is involved in the ownership...

Well they are hardly new kids. London Fields are pretty big now, and Beavertown are opening up a new bigger brewery in Tottenham (next door to redemption I think).

The shoreditch triangle is great to get around London, was supping it last night on Cask. Good job getting Gamma Ray, apparently it is nearly impossible to source in any kind of quantity (too much demand, so they prioritise their loyal customers). Its a good APA, but I am not totally sold on it. I want to retry their 8 Ball (Rye IPA) soon, but if you ever get their Barley Champagne (now called 'Appellation'), its a treat - big ass high gravity saison with fruity hops.

I had the Gamma Ray at last summers Alltech event. If memory serves me correctly I thought it was top notch.
