| 78 /100 UNIT 2C, UPLANDS BUSINESS PARK “Очень круто что при пивоварни можно попить пивка. А мне вообще довелось попробовать прямиком из танка. Атмосфера очень крутая и не типичная для посещения. Выбор с краном не такой большой, а гостевых пивасов и вовсе практически нету. Но на раз обязательно стоит посетить подобное заведение.“ |

| 76 /100 UNIT 10, UPLANDS BUSINESS PARK, BLACKHORSE LN, “Visited July 2023 with beery friends..
Another great stop at the black horse beermile.
Lots of seatings inside and good amount outside as well.. good range of their beers plus a few guests.
Pizza place just outside, to order and eat in the taproom..
Yes.. will visit again..“ |
| 56 /100 Clapton Craft Depot (Beer Store) UNIT 1, 147-151 WOOD STREET “Had thought of ordering from here a few times but they had never quite had the mixture of beers I was after. Did an order in April and they sent me the wrong beer. Not an issue. Same thing happened to me with another bottle shop the month before and I received a refund. Only all.CC did was send me a revised order confirmation. I.e. as if the order they sent me was correct and I am left £5 short.“ |
| 82 /100 Clapton Craft Depot (Beer Store) UNIT 1, 147-151 WOOD STREET “Really solid spot. The beer range in can and bottle is about on par with other Clapton Craft shops. But this place is also a taproom with ample seating, both indoors and outside. Around 10 beers on keg, along with wine, a smattering of spirits. Really well laid out shop, tidy, clean, modern. Friendly service. Average prices. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.“ |
| 56 /100 Duke's Head, Walthamstow (Restaurant) 112 WOOD STREET “Not a great place for craft beer, it must be said. They have some Two Tribes, Beavertown, Camden. Two cask pumps with nothing running through them. Very decent food, though. Quite a big pub, lots of seating. Large outdoor seating area as well. Friendly staff. Decent value. Good spot for lunch but not a destination for beer.“ |

| 62 /100 1 PRIESTLEY WAY “Proud to be one of Britain's largest beer hall, very spacious with tables, chairs, and benches spread over an huge area, including a large beer garden as well. The serving bar is to the right of the entrance and kitchen can be found to the rear of the hall. 12 draught beers including a few cask ales, half of them from Truman's. For Covid 19 safety reasons, beer and food are ordered via an QR code at the table, a bit complicated, but understandable. Quite crowded and noisy at our stay early on a Sunday eve. Decent food and fast service. Our last stop at the Blackhorse Beer Mile. (Visited with Finn 21.11.2021).“ |
| 74 /100 UNIT 15, UPLANDS BUSINESS PARK, BLACKHORSE LANE “Our fifth stop on the Blackhorse Beer Mile located in the same industrial area as Exale and Beerblefish. Spacious place in different sections, with a separate, well-kept bar room overlooking the stylish brewery plant. The bar had seven Signature beers among its 10 taps, a few more beers on cans. The brewery room is large, and also used as a music venue. We were quite happy in Brewer's Bar sharing half pints and listening to classic Tamla Motown music. Outdoor seating and food options. Friendly service and a good place to drink. (Visited with Finn 21.11.2021).“ |
| 72 /100 UNIT 2C, UPLANDS BUSINESS PARK “We were really surprised by especially two things when visiting Exale on our crawl along The Blackhorse Beer Mile. The place was packed with young families and their children both inside and outside of the taproom. Some kind of a Sunday family party or a children's day, maybe. And, among their ten tap lines we noticed and bought a classic Norwegian Christmas beer, Lervig Julebock, which we had not rated before. Very strange, indeed. Street food option, colourful decorated tap room, and the good music played at our stay; Cure, Clash, Ramones among others. Their draught beers can be served in 1/3 pints. Very busy, still friendly service. (Visited with Finn 21.11.2021).“ |
| 56 /100 UNIT 2A-4 UPLANDS BUSINESS PARK, BLACKHORSE LANE “Third stop on our Blackhorse Beer Mile crawl. This one is located in the same industrial estate as Exale, around the corner. Five of their own beers on tap at our visit, served in half-pints and full pints. Lots of seating indoor and a few chairs and tables just outside of the entrance. Not many people in the huge, a bit run down, unit early on a Sunday afternoon. Has got an informative and comprehensive website. Decent beers and polite service. (Visited with Finn 21.11.2021).“ |
| 74 /100 UNIT 10 LOCKWOOD WAY “The second stop at our Sunday Blackhorse Beer Mile crawl was Hackney Brewery & High Hill Taproom, located in an industrial estate, just across the road from Wild Card. Quite modern, comfortable, new taproom separated from the brewery plant. 20 beers on tap, eight of them from the Hackney Brewery. Their draught beers can be served in 1/3 pints measure. An outside yard in front of the building. Ska and reggae music in the back. Pizza options. Polite service. (Visited with Finn 21.11.2021).“ |
| 66 /100 UNIT 7, RAVENSWOOD INDUSTRIAL ESTATE, SHERNHALL ST. “(A review of Wild Card Brewery in Lockwood). Finn and I started our Sunday Blackhorse Beer Mile crawl at the northern spots where Wild Card Brewery and Hackney Brewery are situated. Wild Card's taproom can be found close to the entrance and in front of the brewery kit. Ten tap lines with seven of they own beers at ours stay. More canned Wild Card beers in the fridge. Benches in front of the bar with more seating upstairs at the balcony. Outside yard in warm weather. Sample tray options. Friendly, informative service. Next stop, Hackney Brewery, is just across the road. (Visited with Finn 21.11.2021)“ |
| 62 /100 UNIT 2C, UPLANDS BUSINESS PARK “10 taps. 3 of their own beers. Vibrant on a Sunday. A lot of children around.“ |
| 52 /100 UNIT 2A-4 UPLANDS BUSINESS PARK, BLACKHORSE LANE “Industrial taproom with 5 taps.“ |
| 56 /100 UNIT 7, RAVENSWOOD INDUSTRIAL ESTATE, SHERNHALL ST. “Indurtrial taproom. 10 taps.“ |
| 68 /100 Collab (Signature Brew) (Bar) 198 HOE STREET “Just a few doors up Hoe Street where it meets Walthamstow High Street, this is a new venture combining food with Signature Brew brews, with plenty of the aforementioned on keg lines behind the long service area towards the back. The venue is a ground floor unit in a new build and the place looks very new age for it.“ |
| 58 /100 145 HIGH ST “Towards the western end of the long high street and marketplace in Walthamstow, this pub seemingly opens up in the evenings only on weekdays, I was surprised to find it closed at 4.30pm on a Friday, but returned an hour later when it was already quite busy. A traditional pub, but one that looks very worn inside, it's also split level with most people sat in the upper area in front of the horseshoe bar rather than the lower section, which had a bit of a pong about it, which is probably the reason. There's a row of cask ale pumps with locally and London brewed microbrews on them.“ |
| 62 /100 Nags Head (Bar) 9 ORFORD ROAD “By the railway road bridge in the village area of Walthamstow, this is a large freestanding pub with good focus on locally microbrewed cask ales - there's a good row of them on the bar that's pretty much upon you after you enter the front of the building. I didn't venture away from here but it looked like quite a large place at the rear.“ |
| 60 /100 53 HOE STREET, WALTHAMSTOW “On the main road north out of the commercial centre of Walthamstow, This is a large pub on the right hand side if your heading north after a slight rise and bend in the road. The ground floor has a central 'L' shaped bar with plenty of seating and the front and rear of the building. There's are row of cask ales that were not that exciting on my visit, but a few Pillars brews on its keg options sufficed for my visit. The decor feels slightly worn.“ |
| 62 /100 Bell (Bar) 617 FOREST ROAD “Large corner pub in a fine building overlooking the traffic junction at Bell Corner. It has a large ground floor with a part-partition wall and seats on three sides of the bar, which is against the inner wall. Here a line of cask ales with local options and from microbreweries much further afield are available. The pub is traditional in style and packs the tables in and it was a decent crowd when I visited.“ |
| 66 /100 UNIT 7, RAVENSWOOD INDUSTRIAL ESTATE, SHERNHALL ST. “In the same large unit as Pillars Brewery but around the corner, there's a little more going on in this Brewery Tap though with a more expansive selection in terms of numbers and styles, and there's a fridge too that stocks all their current canned brews if you prefer you tipple this way! The service area is immediately to your left once you enter.“ |
| 58 /100 UNIT 2 RAVENSWOOD INDUSTRIAL ESTATE “Around the corner from the Wild Card brewery, in the same complex, this smaller tap room than its neighbour is worth a look in despite a limited selection available as they concentrate on certain styles with core beers.“ |
| 62 /100 Mirth, Marvel and Maud (Bar) 186 HOE ST “Front of the cinema conversion with the bar at the back of the ground floor. This is underneath the balcony area where you can of course sit. There's plenty of room albeit everything looks very worn, but this is its charm. There's a mix of cask and keg, not extensive, but the selections are decent.“ |
| 64 /100 Spar E17 (Grocery Store) 24-26 ORFORD ROAD, WALTHAMSTOW “In the village area of Walthamstow, around the corner from the Nag's Head, this has to be the poshest looking Spar I've ever been in. It's a good thing though as the crafted canned and bottle ale at the back of the shop is more extensive than any Spar I've been in as well. There's enough quality here to keep you busy for a while.“ |
| 86 /100 Clapton Craft (Beer Store) 76 HOE STREET “Midway between the Olde Rose & Crown and the Bell, this is a shop unit bottle shop (but mainly cans!) very similar to the other Clapton Craft I have visited in Clapton! There's an extensive selection of crafted brews and a row of taps in the middle of the right side wall if you want to sample or fill up for a takeaway.“ |
| 72 /100 UNIT 15, UPLANDS BUSINESS PARK, BLACKHORSE LANE “Taproom at the new Signature brewhouse, serving all their core beers and current seasonals. Note: The old Brewers Bar is now closed, and has been replaced by the larger and purpose-built Yard Pub in front of the brewery. This has an inside taproom, an open deck bar on top, and more outside seating for events.“ |
| 72 /100 Spar E17 (Grocery Store) 24-26 ORFORD ROAD, WALTHAMSTOW “Excellent bottle range at this Spar - a real diamond. Great range of London beers and some from further afield. Definitely worth checking out if in the area,“ |
| 84 /100 Mirth, Marvel and Maud (Bar) 186 HOE ST “Travel down from Chingford to drink here regularly. I should hate everything about it, seeing as it’s a converted cinema pub in the now gentrified area I grew up in but I love it. Always busy but you can always get a table, there are quiet areas but the at atmosphere is good and always have good music playing. Not so keen on listening to a live jazz band when I’m eating a roast though.“ |
| 68 /100 UNIT 2 RAVENSWOOD INDUSTRIAL ESTATE “A decent brewery taproom. Nicely appointed, incorporated well into the brewery’s layout. Only four beers on tap, all keg, although the quality level was good. Friendly staff, fairly average prices. Perhaps not a destination taproom, but given the extreme proximity to the Wild Card brewery bar (literally right around the corner), it makes for a nice one-two visit.“ |
| 76 /100 UNIT 7, RAVENSWOOD INDUSTRIAL ESTATE, SHERNHALL ST. “A solid brewery bar. Lots of indoor seating. Rugby getting projected on to one of the walls during my visit (it was a big match - I doubt it’s a regular thing?). Good range of Wild Card beers on offer: four cask and four keg, plus some of the same in bottles. The house range is supplemented by about 15-20 bottles and cans from other breweries, such as Beavertown and Magic Rock. Also a cider on cask. Friendly staff. Decent prices. Definitely worth he king out. The Pillars brewery taproom is literally a one-minute walk away, so take both in when in the area.“ |
| 72 /100 Bell (Bar) 617 FOREST ROAD “A nice pub. Sprawling interior with loads of seating, numerous leather couches, bar stools, tables. Warm ambiance - there is even a live fire. Decent range or beers. Eight casks, though not very exciting. Mostly macro stuff on keg. Some fun bottles, including Orval. They sell cask beer in 3 1/3 pours, which is nice. Fair prices, friendly service, good music. A nice neighbourhood pub.“ |
| 80 /100 Mirth, Marvel and Maud (Bar) 186 HOE ST “Visited on 5th January 2017. Foyer of a converted cinema about 5 mins from Walthamstow Central stations. It’s got 2 bars with a spirits and cocktail bar at the front, down a few stairs is the bar with all the beer on. Plenty of seats scattered around and the place was popular. Really nice décor and feel to the place and definitely our favourite thus far. A good mix of keg and cask beers, quality good, service good. A quirky place and one I would definitely revisit.“ |
| 72 /100 53 HOE STREET, WALTHAMSTOW “Visited on 5th January 2017. Large Victorian pub less than 10 mins from the two breweries. It’s quite a decent size with a U-shaped bar and plenty of room to sit in, popular with the locals with a decent mix of folk in. Good range of cask ales on, well kept and some interesting finds, picked up a couple of new beers here. Prices and service good. Nice old pub.“ |
| 68 /100 UNIT 2 RAVENSWOOD INDUSTRIAL ESTATE “Visited on 5th January 2017. Brewery and taproom in an industrial estate just outside the conservation area and a couple of minutes from Wild Card. A few more quid has been spent here with much nicer décor, white tiling, a nice bar area, a table football table in a little room by the entrance and decent seating around the brewing kit. 4 different lagers on keg, brewed on site, a couple of new-to-the-site beers on. Quality was good, prices decent and service friendly. Smaller selection than Wild Card but edges it for the ambiance of the place. Again, not one I’d make a regular but would return.“ |
| 66 /100 UNIT 7, RAVENSWOOD INDUSTRIAL ESTATE, SHERNHALL ST. “Visited on 5th January 2017. Brewery and taproom in an industrial estate at the edge of the conservation area. Pretty basic layout with tables and a bar in the brewery. Décor is definitely industrial, no frills here. A mix of cask and keg beers, a couple of new beer on four our visit. Quality was good, service friendly, prices decent enough. Not sure I’d be a regular visitor as the beer isn’t setting the world alight but might pop by as there is a gin palace around the corner which Wingwoman was pretty keen on. Decent enough place to try their beers though.“ |
| 72 /100 Nags Head (Bar) 9 ORFORD ROAD “Visited on 7th January 2017. Stopped here en-route between Walthamstow Central and the 2 breweries. It’s a lovely looking pub in the Conservation area, U shaped pub with central bar, a mix of comfy seating for relaxing and tables and chairs for dining, a couple of cats are resident and may or may not make an appearance (a soggy puss did make a guest appearance). Beer range was mostly London microbrewed cask beer plus Landlord, a handful of more common "craft offerings" in can or bottle. It’s a nice locals pub which is a key part of the community but isn’t a mecca for ratebeerists.“ |
| 70 /100 UNIT 7, RAVENSWOOD INDUSTRIAL ESTATE, SHERNHALL ST. “Came here on a Friday night. it’s on a small industrial estate in a gentrified area of Walthamstow, alongside a couple of other interesting bars on the site. Interior bar is next to the brewing equipment but decent in size. They had a gig in playing music and there’s a decent crowd. Bar featured 4 keg taps from the brewery and 4 cask lines, plus fridges of bottles. Outside they have benches and tables. Decent venue, although I’m not a huge fan of the beers.“ |
