The Testimonials
Catherine Sinden - General Manager at the Market Coffee House
“This is really what it’s all about for us. It’s so special to be able to replace those generic, standard names on our taps with much tastier beer from local, independent businesses like ourselves.”
Freddy Bulmer - Buyer at the Wine Society
“Collaboration and cooperation are vital to the way we work at The Wine Society and A&H are a perfect fit for us in that respect. They are a genuine, quality-first business who are doubtless one of the most exciting craft breweries in the UK right now.”
Oli Carter-Esdale
“It is always a pleasure to pour a pint from one of London’s friendliest and continually innovative breweries. Nicely summed up by a customer the other week, after taking their first sip: ‘best pint I’ve had in ages.’ “
Jack Duignan at Sutton Arms
“Their commitment to bringing us outstanding cask on a weekly basis has meant they have found a permanent home at the Sutton Arms. They tick all the boxes regarding the styles you’re after and are made to an extremely high standard.”
Adrian Tierney-Jones
“It has been said, mainly by me, that Bitter doesn’t work in a can. I’m happy to report that The Ordinary Bitter from Anspach & Hobday does, especially with its crispness and dry, bitter finish.”
Andrew Downs - Operations Manager At Tate Eats
“I was so impressed with the teams creativity and innovation in response to our brief and the support they gave us at every stage of the project has been brilliant. They have great people and company culture, a recipe for growth and future brewing success.”
Olly Smith - TV Presenter, Food and Wine Critic
I love Anspach & Hobday. I first tasted them at a Three Wine Men, an event we were doing with Oz Clarke and Tim Atkin. Their beer is just delicious. I mean, who wouldn’t want to drink it
Jack Crystal at Duke of Greenwich
Delicious, creamy and incredibly flavourful - most moreish, quintessentially quaffable porter, proudly served local beer!
Josh at the Craft Beer Company
It's rare that you find a beer that will always have a place on your bar the way London Black has, especially in a market as saturated with new and exciting products coming at you every week, like craft beer.
Equally as impressive has been working with Anspach and Hobday as a company. There is a huge amount of care, attention to detail and love for what they're doing, evident in all my dealings with them. If it's installing a 70/30 line, helping isolate a gas leak or getting an emergency couple of kegs over via an uber at the last minute, these guys have always gone above and beyond to look after me as a customer. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
All in all, making the switch to London Black from any equivalent stout or porter is an absolute no brainer. It's the best tasting nitro beer on the market at the moment, made by a small crew of dedicated brewers right in the heart of London. What's not to love?
Chris Mead, General Manager at the Kings Arms
"The first sip of London Black, and you'll know this is something you've never had before. This isn’t an Irish Dry Stout, it's something else, something bigger.
The second sip reveals the depth of flavor. Coffee bitterness balanced with dark fruit sweetness. Truly a masterpiece, worthy of being called a London Porter.
By the third sip, you’ll be wondering why you haven't been drinking this from the start. Perfection in a glass."

The London Black is a standout favourite, offering a smooth and satisfying alternative to traditional stouts, while the IPA cask never fails to delight our real ale drinkers.
The team at Ansbach and Hobday is always incredibly professional, friendly, and responsive. Whether it’s assisting with orders, providing expert advice, or simply offering a helping hand when needed, their commitment to excellence shines through.
