Brewhouse & Kitchen, EC1

Decent enough brewhouse in standard B&K layout, close to Angel tube

Smaller than a lot in this chain,it's situated on the ground floor of a modern building.The interior decor is interesting with a low ceiling and lots of industrial ducting ,a U shaped bar and a mix of furniture with a long high bench running down the right wall,divided from the bar by a half height wooden partition,while there is seating with booths to the front and left.6 gleaming copper vessels to the rear right,again not the biggest plant but brewing takes place regularly.There is a hipsterish menu at hipsterish prices,but also a beer guide listing a lot of keg options and some bottles,while there are 8 handpumps offering on my trip brewed on site Arcangel,Spandau B,Myddleton,Britton,Chaplin (a decent APA) and Badas (very good collaberation with Innis & Gunn,oak aged) with one pump for Orchard Pig cider and another unused. There are flatscreens but they are not distracting,while the muzak was well chosen and played at a sensible volume.The clientele was mainly young professionals on my Friday afterwork visit,but overall it was a lot better than expected,quite a cosy place and worth another visit.
