F A N S !
We're back with a bang this week, dishing out a mega haul from some of our nearest and dearest. Up top, the perennially underrated Time & Tide return with a bevvy of top-notch, well... bevs, alongside another belting DEYA drop and accompanying Tap Takeover at the Depot today! Across the shops there's some tantalising treats from the likes of Drop Project, Burnt Mill, Anspach & Hobday, and more. While, over on the Webshop we have a handful of supremely special sharers from Burning Sky, along with some sour sensations courtesy of Vault City and a triple header of dark delights from Omnipollo, Low Key Barrel Project, and ELB.
If that wasn't enough we've also got tastings aplenty in-store. Tonight alone Absinthe aficionados Devil's Botany are in E5, while East London Liquor Company are down in Kentish Town, and we host World Sake in Balham. Busy, us?! But, first onto beery proceedings...

Still frankly confusingly difficult to find in the capital (despite a rising status amongst the heads) we're proud to have championed cult heroes Time & Tide, since about day dot. Based on the stunning Kent coast, they've honed their craft with an array of sluggable stalwarts, including superbly suppable hazy Pales, crispy Lagers, and roasty-toasty Stouts.
This time around we're delighted to have seven slammers live and direct from the crew. Bestseller Spratwaffler is of course back, and arguably tasting better than ever. Clocking in at just 3.7% this oozes citrus with hints of vibrant grapefruit. Soft, juicy, and stupidly slurpable, it's a true feat of flavour to volume brewing. A little more grassy, and a touch crisper, their SIPA Urban Goose also returns in fine form, alongside their effortlessly drinkable and dry APA, All In Jim. For those after a little injection of festive fun, look no further than Tinsel Town. A New England IPA wrapped up in Nelson Sauvin, Citra and Mosaic hops, this boasts fresh citrus notes with a touch of spiky grape, ideal then to cut through that daunting roast...
If you're still on a Lager tip, the impeccably clean Unfiltered Helles, Lighthouse Lager is sure to deliver some summery refreshment, while Agent Schwartz provides the dunkel decadence with flavours of biscuity malt, coffee and cocoa. Finally, Depth Charge arrives as a wonderfully rich, complex stout featuring a whopping eight malts for a truly beautifully balanced belter.
As always, we thoroughly recommend diving into our Brewery Of The Week, with double loyalty points in-store and 10% off six or more online. To cap things off we'll be giving away some limited glassware if you grab a handful of Kent classics. Just what more could you want?

We're absolutely delighted to announce that DEYA will be down the Depot today! We'll be pouring five lines of frothy firepower from those crafty crocs from open over in Wood Street. And, with Steady Rolling Man, Tappy Pils, Into The Haze, Brett Pils, and Saturated In Strata all on draught plus a tonne of can-shaped delights it's the perfect way to cap off the week in style.
Thankfully, there's no need to fear if you're not a native E17-er. Across the shops and online we've got five freshies landing including core range greats Steady Rolling Man, Magazine Cover, and Into The Haze. To add to the already juicy equation, we have the long-awaited return of Break Me Into Bigger Pieces. A citrus IPA loaded with fresh lime and lemon zest, this is a vibrant, zingy delight from start to finish. Lastly, Villages collaboration Moon Pool adds a little crisp balance. A West Coast leaning pale, this utilises some rather unusual German hop varietals (most notably Tango) plus a subtle edition of orange zest in the dry hop, for a spritzy, highly drinkable smasher.
So far, so DEYA. As per, these won't hang around (and dare we say it) could even be our last drop from the dream team in 2021...
