Sambrook's Brewery Taproom, Wandsworth, SW18

Situated in the old Young's Brewery, Sambrook's new Brewery Taproom is a far cry from their old premises in Battersea. I quite liked the neglected feel of the old place, with workers from the brewery dispensing the ales. The new place has a far more polished corporate feel with professional staff and plenty of them. Food can also be ordered to accompany your Sambrook's beer, as you gaze over the brewing equipment. The two handpulls at the end of the bar had Wandle & Powerhouse Porter. Keg options were Sambrook's Nimbus, Session, Pagoda, Block Party, Imperial Stout & Night Light, Tap Social Toast , Truman's Marzenbier & Windsor & Eton Eton Mess. As this was the last pub of the day, I decided to finish my afternoon's crawling of South West London on the 10.5% Imperial Stout, and finish me it did (well, almost)! Despite it being very different from the brewery's original taproom, I quite enjoyed my visit here and will undoubtedly return (one day).
