Visited 29/05/26
No cask. Keg offering of their own Original Pale, Pillars, Helles, Haus Lager and a small batch Radler, presumably brewed for these warm sunny summer evenings. Guests were the Hop Pickers Pale from Anspach & Hobday, the APA from Saint Monday and the Crafty Apple cider from Crafty Blends.
Another industrial brewing premises with its taproom open end week. The bar counter is at the rear of the left-hand side of the venue on a concrete flooring. Bench style seating and the same out the front in a sun trap position on an evening like that on my visit. Indeed, I was the only punter that choose to have my pint inside as the sun was a bit too strong to enjoy. There is a beer fridge to the left of the front of the bar counter offing their and guest beers to take away by can and bottle. No screens and a belting rock soundtrack on my visit. One of the most atmospheric brewery tap rooms I have visited. Their brews are not my preferred type generally, but I did enjoy this visit, more so than to their other venues in E17.

A lively and full up industrial site taproom. Pillars specialising in lagers had five largers on tap as well as a Siren Soundwave and Purity Bunny Hop along with a Crafty Apple Cider. My Pillars Hop Lager was nice enough, good stuff.

This industrial estate on the fringes of Walthamstow Village, must hold some sort of record for having the most bars within its units. This particular effort is run by the Pillars Brewery who seem to specialise in creating different varieties of lager. On this visit, they had four such brews available, all on keg dispense it would seem – Untraditional Lager, Rebell Helles, More Hench and Experiment 001 which was a Chocolate and Orange Stout that I decided to give a try and found quite subtle and satisfying.
The bar is typical of microbrewery premises across the capital, with a large concrete floored factory unit with large metal pillars and a corrugated iron roof, divided into two distinct areas – brewery and bar. The brewery is in the right hand portion of the room, whilst a small servery can be found tucked away in the far rear left corner with the rest of the left hand side given over to seating and vertical drinking space, with two sofas squeezed into the front right corner. Some effort has clearly been made to smarten up the seating space, with wooden boards stuck to the walls and painted purple with large letters splashed across it spelling out the word ‘Untraditional’. The servery has a concrete topped counter and four taps on the bar back above a brewery sign that has been designed to look like a London street-name sign. A couple of TV screens and games consoles have been rigged up to the left, with a few people playing Mario Kart when I arrived. There is low level lighting throughout and a quiet indie soundtrack played in the background. Ample overspill seating can be found outside which plenty of people were taking advantage of on a hot afternoon and I also spotted a table football game hidden away somewhat in a small side-room.
These places are quite tricky to review as they are functional rather than comfortable and end up all feeling much like one another. What I can say is that this place stands out for having at least made some degree of effort to make the place feel welcoming and it certainly makes for an interesting mini crawl with the other bars, breweries and gin joints in this industrial estate.
