Something a little different here, where they've gone for a shipping container vibe, which at least makes a change from the standard light industrial aesthetic which predominates in these places. They've done their best to create a pub-style feel to the small square box with a mixture of low and high tables.

Signature is no more than a minutes walk from Pretty Decent but, while this is genuinely a much better place for a drink (putting aside the dreary surroundings outside), I'd say the beer's inferior.

The bar offer 5 lines of home brew, plus a similar number of guests, though this may just be the Oktoberfest thing going on. I was certainly taken aback by the price of my initial selection and quickly switched to a more reasonably priced Signature IPA. A couple of hand pumps adorn the bar, but they weren't in action on this visit.

To me, this is more of a stop and neck it kind of place, rather than a linger and try the range venue. I probably wouldn't bother if I ever found myself thirsty on a light industrial estate in the Walthamstow area some time in the future.

A fairly decent though smallish taproom set in a corner adjacent to the brewer. There were five Signature beers on, I had a Black Vinyl Stout, also a guest beer, Verdant Whale Shark. It was very busy on my Sunday visit with a music gig going on elsewhere in the extended venue, this unfortunately led to queuing at the bar but was unavoidable.
All in all a neat little venue.

The last of the various brewery taps on my crawl was perhaps the most unusual of them all, as the taproom only forms a small part of the overall set-up here. The main taproom space has a bar to the left of a roughly square room, with a large beer board behind it and taps along the back wall. Decent seating options can be found in here, with high tables and a few fixed benches making this the obvious place to bag a seat. However, the brewery complex spreads out over much wider area, including a live music venue to the rear, in line with brewery's music ethos, which was hosting a DJ when I visited. Canteen style benches filled a narrow space opposite their decks and huge brewing vessels were visible to the rear, although I suspect a very different layout is used when bands are playing on stage. There's also a fenced off seating area outside with more benches and then across the road there's another bar with even more seating in a space fenced by some Signature Brew branded panels.
The main bar had eight Signature Brew beers plus cider and alcohol free options. I tried the Black Vinyl Nitro Stout (£6.20 a pint), which was a pretty good drop to round out this crawl with. The barman was friendly and efficient and a quick look at the other bar suggested a doubling up of brews rather than there being anything not available in the main taproom.
I like this brewery and their support for the live music industry and thought this was a decent enough place to showcase their beer. It's a bit of a disjointed space that maybe works best when the weather allows you to use the outdoor space or if attending for a gig, and overall, I think I prefer their Haggerston venue over this one, but it was a good enough spot to finish the crawl nonetheless.
