Big Penny Brews, E16

Visited 20/01/26 No cask. Keg offering of four of their own brews, the Lager, the Session IPA, the Pale Ale and the IPA. Small airside outlet for Walthamstow brewery. Ceramic floor tiles with a dark boarded surround. Drinking here is either vertical at the small bar counter on the left-hand side as you look at from the open entrance, which is just off the main seating area or on tall stools at the drinking ledge on the right-hand side or rear wall, which are tiled in a dark green glazed ceramic tile. The rear wall houses a small screen showing drone generated views of middle and far east business centres on my visit but is suspect ordinarily also. The bar counter has an extension to the left of the front serving hot drinks and cakes etc. Low ceiling and easily the most atmospheric place to grab a beer airside at City airport, but it is a very low bar.
