The London Fields Brewery Presents British Craft Beer Challenge Round 4: GB V COMMONWEALTH

From the frozen lakes of Canada to sparse landscapes of the Australian outback, Great Britain once had a major influence over them all, amalgamating the beauty of the world into the Commonwealth state. Nowadays we no longer rule these countries, but we do share similar values, laws & drinking habits too. But, I hear you ask, has the ancient British tradition of brewing affected the tastes of our former empire? After all, India Pale Ale was created to survive the seas and to be drank on arrival to ports of Madras.

The British Craft Beer Challenge is back to test some of the UK’s tastiest craft beers against those of our Commonwealth cousins with Round 4: GB vs The Commonwealth. As the games kick off in Glasgow, so does the Challenge here in London, with over 40 mouth-watering ex-colonial beers from countries such as India, Australia, Canada & New Zealand. Even the most educated of pallets may discover some exciting surprises whilst making their way through the lines. The participating breweries offering up hoppy treats are:

GB ***
Magic Rock // Ilkley // London Fields Brewery // Siren // Hop stuff // Hammerton // Five points // BrewDog // Marble

Commonwealth ***
Moosehead – Canada // Coopers - Australia // James Boags – Australia // Little Creatures – Australia // Stien - New Zealand // Moa - New Zealand // Stone & Wood – Australia

Never fear if you are no fan of beer, not only will there be a fully stocked bar, but a commonwealth-inspired cocktail corner with Pimms, Singapore Slings, Rum Punch & much more. Hosts, London Fields Brewery will be providing an eclectic menu to tickle international taste-buds with Jerk Chicken and of course Bruce’s BBQ serving up meaty goodness.
Keep entertained by playing classic British Pub Games, whilst dancing to a playlist which promises to take you around the globe! The Brewhouse will be a bound with breweries, beers, food and music with a convivial party ambience.

• Fascinating food matching and experimentation will keep you thinking whilst drinking.
• Feed on hearty cook-ups, local Hackneyite and London Fields chef supremo Jess Simmons will be tantalising the taste buds with BBQ meats and vegetable treats – be treated by a new flavour combination that will stand up to any imperial stout.
• Rendezvous at The British Craft Beer Challenge with friends and beery revellers alike in the sun-soaked courtyard of the Brewhouse’s iconic railway arches.
