Craft Beer Co - Brixton

This would have been my second visit here but the first time I came it was so busy that we went to the Spoons prior to a gig. Did not take to this place. Two cooler than thou bar staff stood giggling with each other. The beers I ordered were off and the above bar menu was difficult to read in the gloom. If passing would return to see of there are any ticks but the ooptions just seemed limited compared to other CBCos.

Have visited pretty often now, especially since the refurb in late 2017 and overall like this place which is situated on a street corner close to rail/bus/tube connections so is an easy place to reach for those not familiar with the area. A pretty small main bar on ground floor level with some high tables and stool’s and more seating can be found in the nice upstairs seating area or outside. Lots of cask/keg to choose from as well as bottles/cans. I normally prioritise cask for my visits as have always found them to be in good nick, and often get some pretty rare ticks like on our last visit. Staff are friendly, and ambience on our visits (mostly weekend afternoons) has been fine. Overall a good stop. Recommended.

Visited 22.10.18. 7 ales on cask and 20 beers and ciders on keg. All from small micros. Two floors. Bar downstairs and more seating upstairs. Aaah, so much interesting to drink. It’s difficult to leave...

Okay interior and the usual huge number of beers on tap that you'll find at all the Craft Beer Co locations. Service was a little overwhelmed on friday afternoon, the place can get very packed. A few bottles of Belgians refridgerated. Good place, pretty much the same as the other locations.

Small bar close to Brixton station. There is seating space outside. Good selection on the taps but it’s my least favourite Craft location, just something about the place that I can’t put my finger on. I’d go back but will never be regular visitor

Visited for a few halfs on a Thursday night. Nice decor with a very small bar front and some creative tap placement. Interesting selection, with plenty of ticks for an international visitor (no idea if you're local). Enjoyable if not perhaps the most exciting place.

Medium sized place spreading on two floors. Modern and pretty basic interior, not a lot of atmosphere except it's located in very colorful and pleasant part of town. Good selection, cask and keg, nothing too exciting, but enough to find several interesting beers.

Visited a few times, most recently on 15 April 2017. Not my favourite Craft Beer Co by any means. It’s rather small and the layout means getting to the bar for service is not easy when there’s a few people in. The bar frontage is quite narrow so not really suited to having more serving staff when it’s busy as they’d just get in each others’ way. Those waiting to be served tend to form into a queue running from the bar to the door. Not sure whether this is because the customers here are polite and like to queue or (more likely) because there isn’t really any other option. On our latest visit, although there were some beers we were interested in, we didn’t linger because the wait to be served would have been too long. The beer selection is good and much as you’d expect at a Craft Beer Co - a mix of cask & keg from the quality end of the spectrum.

This never happened to me before, decent selection but worst service ever. Ordered a beer that I really liked but they served someone else who ordered after me and the beer ran out.

Sunday evening 22nd Jan 2017: my son, wife and I were the only customers. Basic on ground level, minimalist furniture with standing the best option, upstairs more of a lounge feel. Bored staff but friendly enough, beer selection was fine and mostly new to me. Got some interesting rates and left happy. Our mini crawl around Brixton was fun and safe: will do again now my son has moved ’South of the River’ once more.
