Magic. Anderson Craft Ales, which brewed its first batch last summer, has already become another good reason to explore London’s Old East Village. Located in a former industrial building on Elias Street, Anderson was started with two beer recipes and the goal of helping to make the neighbourhood a hip destination.“We would love to help shape tourism in London by encouraging people to spend time in the OEV,” said Aynsley Anderson, who handles special events and social media. “There are already great places to eat, grab coffee and shop. We can help round that out, with the city’s help, to create an environment with character and connectivity that people want to hang out in.” Aynsley’s brother, Gavin, is the brewmaster. His brewing journey started more than a decade ago when he was a 19-year- old home brewer, and included stops at craft breweries in Kentucky and the Maritimes. He has a PhD in microbiology, meaning he’s well equipped to understand the science of brewing. Dad Jim is a director of the company, and has been known to pitch in with any task from bartending to, as Aynsley says, “ideas man.” The first two beers to be launched were Anderson IPA and Anderson Amber. Brewing an India Pale Ale is de rigueur in the craft beer world, but Anderson choose to go a less-hoppy, more accessible route for its recipe, compared with many other craft brewers. Recommended pairings include big, bold spicy foods like fajitas. Anderson Amber, with its notes of caramel and toffee, has broad appeal as a beer to pair with anything from seafood to pizza or grilled cheese. Having tips on which beer to pair with what food comes in handy on Friday nights, when Anderson hosts food trucks at the brewery, featuring COCOVille Caribbean and a different guest truck each week.
