London’s Meantime Brewing Co. Thurs. 3/7 5-8 PM
Since its establishment in 2000 by Brewmaster Alastair Hook, Meantime has built a worldwide reputation for both quality and for the authentic re-creation of several of the world’s iconic and pivotal beer styles. Its India Pale Ale and London Porter are generally regarded as being amongst the most historically accurate recreations of these beers available today.
Meantime has matched its reputation for authenticity with one for innovation. Its CoffeePorter – launched in 2005 – was Britain’s first Fairtrade beer (using coffee from the Maraba Coffee cooperative of Rwanda), and went on to win a gold medal at the 2006 World Beer Cup. Meantime was the first British brewery to win medals at the World Beer Cup in 2004 and is the only British brewery to have won medals at every WBC since. In 2007 Meantime had no fewer than four beers ranked in the ‘Worlds 50 Best Beers’ as compiled by the UK based International Beer Challenge; a feat it repeated in 2008.
As a consequence of Meantime’s striving to raise the bar of British brewing, Alastair Hook was named the 2008 Brewer of the Year by the British Guild of Beer Writers.
