German Kraft Brewery & taproom — Restaurant in London

Nice place. Music's a bit loud and the tables are way too wide to hear someone opposite. My first two helles had a slight acetic taste which disappeared in the next pints. They were served from different bars.

The latter beers were excellent, reminiscent of AU from Mährs in Bamberg. They were served in lined glasses for £5.50, so pretty good value considering. The hefeweiss was a bit bubblegum-sweet for me.

In the mean time, the sausages, goulash, open fire and excellent beer still make German Kraft a great...

Just days after we ordered, our kegs were delivered safely and personally to our door - it was clear that it had been delivered by people working for the company rather than usual mail services which was a lovely touch. The beer itself is BRILLIANT. It's the first beer I have drank in this whole lockdown period which has tasted properly like a pint from a pub, and I have missed it so much. We also ordered the ceramic tankards, which do a wonderful job of keeping beer cool over the best part of an hour. The whole thing has been an amazing experience and we will be...
