Anspach & Hobday's London Black On The Bar At The English Restaurant, London.

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.”

“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.’ “

“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.”

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

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."
