40FT Brewery & Taproom

There’s no lack of shipping container-filled yards around east London but this one in Dalston is where you’ll find The Dusty Knuckle bakery, BBQ restaurant Acme Fire Cult, and 40FT Brewery & Taproom. There is some perfectly pleasant indoor seating but really you want to be out on the heated and covered terrace. This is where brilliant beers and alcohol-free pints flow between mates and Acme Fire Cult’s hefty slabs of tender Tamworth pork and fermented squash hummus are fought over. The taproom is open Tuesday to Sunday, and the restaurant is open every day apart from Monday.
