Eko Brewery Tap Room, Peckham Rye, SE15

David Walton left this review about Eko Brewery Tap Room

Another day another taproom! This one down near Peckham Rye. Their website describes the offering as African inspired vegan beers, and the taproom had their full current offering as well as a number of guest beers on tap. Again a very pleasant location, some benches out front and inside seating on two levels with the bar on the first floor.

Their offering didn’t massively inspire, as they weren’t generally my type of beers, all of which was keg unsurprisingly. So there was a lager, a pils, a Porter and a pale ale which was a pretty strong one and not where I wanted to start my evening. They also had an AF option on tap and all of the beers were available in can or bottle. They also had a NEPA only available on tap but I didn’t spot that until I was leaving. Also on tap were a cider (didn’t recognise the brewery - the tap had a green circle with a white umbrella thereon), two Kernel beers (the small pale ale and the table beer) and two from Cloudwater (the Piccadilly Pilsner and the Happy pale ale). I felt obliged to have one of their beers but I wish I had gone for the Cloudwater pale ale)!

I like to support these smaller breweries in my own neck of the woods. Can’t say I will be rushing back to this one, but it is great what they are looking to do. Maybe they will be more adventurous with their own range as they hopefully get more successful. Very decent to offer a quite decent guest range to put their own beers up against. A 6 rather than a 5 for that reason.
