Thursday Drinks Cabinet - Meantime London Pale Ale

Meantime Brewery founded in 2000 by Brewmaster Alastair Hook, who had previously trained at the world famous brewing school at the Technical University of Munich of Weihenstephan makes Meantime Pale Ale. The Greenwich Brewery, home of the Meantime Brewing is located on Blackwall Lane, London, 2010. More info on them is here.





Meantime may be yet another trendy micro brewery but their London Pale Ale is good stuff. Indeed their lager is lovely too.




One hundred and fifty years ago the new bitter beer style, Pale Ale, was so popular that brewers had to import Californian hops to meet demand.




Meantime London Pale Ale continues that tradition by combining lots of American Cascade and Centennial hops to give it a complex citrus aroma and buckets full of local Kentish Goldings to provide the bitterness that makes the style so refreshing.
Together they are quite tasty.
