SAMBROOK’S
ollowing the freeing up of space mentioned in the last
Fedition, Sambrook’s have made changes to their brewery
bar and shop. There will be a relaunch event on Saturday
2 April. Check the website for details of this and the new
opening times.
REUNION ALES
he first two beers, Opening Gambit and Frost Fair, are
Tnow becoming available in pubs in the Twickenham and
Feltham area and bottled beer is now available. A 5% ABV
pale ale is set to be added. For those who use CAMRA’s
NBSS system, the beers have now been registered.
STREATHAM BREWING COMPANY
his new venture will be based in the Railway pub near
TStreatham Common station although it is under separate
ownership from the pub. To begin with at least, they will
be producing bottled beers only.
WIMBLEDON BREWERY
fourth beer, a smoked porter called Phoenix (4.5% ABV)
Awas added to the range earlier this year. It is described
as smooth and rich with hints of beech smoke, spice and
chocolate. This commemorates the burning down of the
first Wimbledon Brewery up in the Village in January of
1889. Apocryphal perhaps but it is said that the fire only
became disastrous because it was an icy day and the poor
old horses could not get the fire engine up Wimbledon Hill.
