ReviewAffinity Brewery started life brewing out of a shipping container parked outside the Five Miles Craft bar on an unassuming industrial estate tucked away in South Tottenham.
Well they have come along a bit since then and have moved to now occupy a couple of arches on the Almond Road section of the Bermondsey Beer mile next door to the Spartan Brewery who are now down to one arch.
And along with the Eebria Tap room a few arches down this now makes this Almond Road section a decent stop off before traversing further in either direction as we did before heading off towards Partizan and Fourpure.
There is a decent sized internal space in this tap room and the available seating is on two levels as there is a mezzanine floor above the main bar area. And as the arches in this section of the mile benefit from being not adjacent to a road the outside space is utilised for seating also with plenty of bench seating available shared with the Spartan Brewery next door.
The small bar area in front of the brewing equipment has five taps dispensing the breweries craft keg options and then others were available in cans from the racks alongside the serving area. I decided to try their Breeze, which is a 3.8% Lime and Coriander Saison at £5 a pint, but the coriander was too prominent for my personal taste. However this tap room was being well utilised both inside and out so others seemed partial to their craft beers. As Tap rooms go underneath the arches I thought this was quite a comfortable one and would say it is a good addition to the Bermondsey beer mile.
