Visited 19/12/24
No cask. Their keg range dispensed from taps on the wall behind the bar counter. On my visit they were offering London Steam a lager, Picnic a session IPA, Common Side a pale ale, Thames Surf an IPA, Gravity Theory a cider, Southie a stout, Yosemite a session IPA, Rock Lobster a NEIPA, Caravan Club another lager and Orange County a Kviek IPA.
The bar area is up a flight of fire escape type metal steps, with the area just inside the entrance housing a table football game, a TV on the wall and a couple of benches. Upstairs the bar counter is against the rear wall with a small seating area consisting of a couple of beaten leather sofas to the left of the bar counter. A beer fridge to the right of the bar counter provides a selection of their cans for takeaway. Seating in the space otherwise via regular benches and bench seats plus some improvised banquettes with padded fabric cushions. A TV was playing an old movie with a reasonable music soundtrack in the background.

This is a well-positioned brewery taproom located in a row of industrial units right outside Wandsworth Common station. The taproom has a slightly unusual layout in that you enter through the usual large shuttered front into a fairly empty space with couple of benches, low stools, pews and padded kegs serving limited tables. A staircase in the centre of the room takes you up to the first-floor bar area with the servery along the back wall and several rows of canteen-style tables and benches opposite and to the left. It was rather dark and very hot up here during my visit on a warm late summer afternoon, and most punters had opted not to stay up here once they’d picked up their drinks. The bar has a simple counter and keg taps lining the bar back with helpful boards above detailing the draught range complete with strengths and prices. The good weather meant most visitors were sat outside, where numerous canteen benches were available in the loading bay, supplemented by more padded kegs. It certainly seemed like a late afternoon suntrap despite the row of tall trees opposite, but this was offset somewhat by the roar of trains the other side of the fence opposite, as they raced to and from Clapham Junction. An eclectic range of tunes played through my stay ranging from bubblegum pop to heavy metal, which kept things interesting.
There were four Belleville beers available on keg dispense, plus three guests from the likes of Lost & Grounded and Wild Beer. I tried the Belleville Session IPA (£3.50 for two thirds) which was okay and the Thames Surfer IPA (£4.00 for two thirds) which was very enjoyable. The lone barmaid was very friendly and efficient, although a large influx of customers within a short space of time lead to quite a long queue developing at one point.
I liked this place and thought it was something a bit different from the usual factory unit brewery bars you see all over London. The beer also seemed to be pretty good based on what I sampled, and I’d be interested in checking out a few of their other brews. Not a bad spot to while away some time whilst waiting for a train, especially when considering the limited alternatives nearby.

Great place for a US Style Craft Beer! The Taproom offers 8 draughts on tap as well as all of their staple and seasonal cans. While they do offer some small pub snacks, they don't currently offer a full menu of food. They are however BYOF (Bring Your Own Food) and a lot of the local venues and all the food apps will deliver to their taproom. The Taproom itself is simple with no frills and doubles as the brewery's beer storage area. It has several tables, converted kegs as stools, large screen TV to watch sports/movies, and a really chill vibe. With the brewery next door, they offer tours and tastings as long as you email in advance. In general, the taproom is a nice, local Wandsworth brewery that isn't loud and is family friendly. They've expanded their hours to Fri 5-8pm & Saturday 12-8pm and said they are hoping to add more days soon. If your an American in the London or just a craft beer drinker looking to support a local venue, Belleville Brewing Co. & Taproom should definitely be a stop on your list!
