The Kernel Brewery Tap Room located in…
The Kernel Brewery Tap Room located in Spa Road, off Rouel Road in Bermondsey is for me one of the greatest modern craft breweries in London and further afield established in 2009. They have a range of up to 24 different beers on tap and often, 2-3 cask beers all brewed by themselves. I am personally delighted that they offer the option of 1/3 Pints so that I can try a bigger variety of their amazing Pale Ales, India Pale Ales, Lagers, Pilsners, Red Rye Ales, sour beers and dark beers like Porters and Stouts out of all the range that they have. The staff are very approachable, friendly and for the most cases real beer nerds with a very good experience and passion for craft ales and very good beer conversations. These are all the good signs of a great establishment that really cares about what they do and where quality is always at the forefront of things unlike some other “craft breweries” who have gone downhill in quality in the last 10 years and have become very big and mainstream in style.
The tap room is very large, wide and spacious and can take bookings for the Yagi Izakaya food menu which I have yet to try.
As well as some branded merchandising, most of the selection of their beers are available to buy in bottles at the taproom and they also accept cash payments! Very convenient!
