Kernel is different. On Saturdays It’s a part of the local community where you find locally produced food around you. Very handy to go next door - shop some meat rolls for breakfast and later go to the right and find cheese to go with your beers. Under the chalkboard you even find a playground for the kids. If you happen to meet friendly natives (as we did), the quality of the ambiance & the overall score is increased by at least 20%. Not to be missed on a trip to London - on a Saturday morning.

A great place to spend a Saturday morning. A few beer on tap, may in bottles, a fine selection of quality food vendors, too. A fine way to showcase a brewery.

The microbrewery with its drink-in option is located under the railway arches in the south eastern part of London together with other small-scale producers of goodies like cheese, pies and other home-made dishes. These can be brought and consumed in the drinking area of the brewery. During our Saturday visit there were four great ales from tap and lots of bottles to drink-in or to take away. Quite a charming place and area. The drinking part looks like a German beer hall, and we spent a good drinking time here with other ratebeerians like Fin and Harrisoni. In the cold season you are advised to bring warm clothes - it is freezing cold in the drinking area. We shared nine beers and bought quite a few bottles to take home. Ok service. About 20minutes walk from Tower Bridge (visited, 03.11.2012).

everytime i go to the brewery the selection is amazing and rock down prices. to make things better you get to drink the beers in the brewery can’t get fresher :)

Have visited both this (the new location) and the old location many, many times, in fact any visit to London is not complete without a visit here. I have to say on the two visits here I still slightly prefer the old location, though I guess this place is much bigger, the crowd are pretty much the same old regular faces and the staff as friendly and helpful as ever and there is far more seating here, I suppose its just a case of getting used to somewhere new. The beers are almost always excellent and everytime you visit you will be certain to get a selection of new beers in fact even if you went every week I think this is pretty much guaranteed. Whilst it is further out east than the old site it is still easy to get to or you can get very close by Tube (Bermondsey) or bus, Jamaica Rd I guess. Great place!

So, it’s a brewery under railway line in a less than onspiring neighborhood that only opens for a few hours on Saturday for bottle sales (and on-site drinking) and a couple of beers on tap. Still it manages to score highly for ambience and selection. Firstly, the Kernel folk are great and always around. Secondly, anyone interesting from the beer world who is town is almost certainly going to call in and, because of the limited opening hours, you’re almost certainly going to bump into them. Thirdly, although the number of beers available is not huge, they change every week and, unless you go every week you are bound to miss some because of the number of different beers they make. So definitely an essential visit. Way more than the sum of the parts.

A nice place under the railroad. Plenty of seating. Open only on Saturdays. A short walk from the London Bridge underground but worth it. They had 4 beers on tap and lots of bottle to go or drink there. Prices were reasonable.

Nice place, out in a hard to find place, even when you know where it is. Nice selection of their beers and a nice place to visit, definitely a must if your in the city.

Evin is Magus!!!! The best of the best in London! The food is not applicable here but you have a craft food market nearby and everytrhing there is GOOD! Any given saturday you’re in London - visit visti visit, nothing better to do on Saturday

The new location is certainly an upgrade for visitors looking for a relaxed saturday afternoon beer. Whereas the old location was a bit cramped, the new site is much larger, with a number of seating options (and a bathroom!). You can’t drink outside anymore, but I don’t have too much problem with that. The selection is always great, they usually offer around 8 of their beers, some of them available on tap. Value is quite good, you can get something like 12 beers to take away for less than 30 quid. Come get Kernel beer at its freshest. Highly recommended.
