Fairly characterless brewery bar underneath the Peckham Rye railway arches. For some reason, the local hipsters were all drinking in an outdoor courtyard leaving all of the indoor seating to me. Only one other guy was inside, being stood at the bar chatting with staff.
Three real ales were available, all from Brick Brewery - Peckham Pale, Milk Stout & Extra Special Bitter. Craft beers dominate however, with Brick Peckham Pils, Peckham Pale, Peckham Session, Peckham Helles, Peckham Rye, Blackhorse Milk Stout, Hop, Redcurrant & Blackberry, Plum Sour & Berry Sour, Brick x Wiper Summer Somewhere, Brick x Wild Horse NEIPA, Drop Project Drip, Wiper & True Meadowland & North City of Trees. I could see no sign of real cider.
Very much a trendy kind of place that seems to be quite popular in the capital these days. Plenty of choice is good. But the drinking environment felt a bit too depressing.

Just a short distance from Peckham Rye station, this is an outdoor bar in a small lot next to the Brick Brewery, which operates out of a railway arch behind the bar. The lot is a self contained space with a corrugated iron perimeter, a plastic sheeting roof, decked flooring and a jerry built shack to the rear housing the servery, staff area and toilets. The place isn't that easy to find, especially in the hours of darkness, as there is no obvious external signage. You enter through some heavy front gates and pass the food station which is in the front left corner of the lot and was being run by Slow Richie's, who offer slow cooked roasts, burgers, pork belly and veggie dishes. The main bulk of the space is filled with low bench seating serving grubby tables made from old pallets, with a few nicer proper garden tables quickly snapped up by earlier customers. A couple of drinking ledges have been created by stacking two Brick Brewery kegs on top of each other and nailing a circular piece of wood on top. Two big patio heaters helped combat the cold, but despite now providing shelter in the form of the plastic sheeting, there is no escaping the fact that this is an outdoor venue and it can be very cold. The servery has been painted red and has a hatch which can be lowered at the end of the day and hangs precariously over your head when ordering. Blackboards on the bar back list the draught and bottled beer options which is very helpful. Given the ropey nature of the servery, seemingly made from random ply-wood off-cuts, they have gone to the effort of fitting that craft beer bar standard - the white tiled bar back with keg taps protruding. A good indie soundtrack played throughout my stay and there was a steady stream of customers despite the winter temperatures.
There were two cask ales available - Brick Sir Thomas Gardyner and Kindle Bitter. The latter was decent value at £3.40 a pint plus a quid deposit for the branded glass. Six more Brick beers were available on keg dispense as well as a lone cider option, but these were notably more expensive. I noticed a few beers were coming out remarkably murky and my pint of Kindle Bitter didn't look too good either but thankfully drank fairly well.
This is quite a nice little brewery bar that benefits from it's outdoor setting as it provides a USP that sets it aside from London's many other railway arch based breweries. Obviously the place is better visited in warmer months, but the handy location and beer straight from the source mean that this place should work well as part of any crawl around Peckham's ever improving pub scene.
