Pair 2017
This summer we are delighted to be involved in the very first exciting venture of Pair. A day of beer and food pairings with some great breweries (yes us of course) and some equally amazing food partners. So what is it all about?
Five of the capital’s most inventive breweries, each matched up with a kick-ass food partner, with a simple brief: to make the best beers and eats possible.
For some time now there’s been a slightly problematic relationship between high-end food and beer. Go into many top restaurants and alongside the Chateauneufs, Rieslings and Dom Perignons will be an apologetic beer list that does nothing to complement the wonderful food dishes it’s offered alongside.
So we decided to do something about it. Through fresh ideas, innovation and collaboration, we want beer to take its rightful place at the high table of great cuisine. We may be a way off seeing our favourite brewers on the Fat Duck drinks list, but the time has come to make inroads.
So – five of London’s most exciting, experimental breweries have got together, paired themselves with five food outlets/suppliers in close proximity, and have let their imaginations run riot.
Each pairing was given a briefing: to collaborate on a beer recipe which challenges convention, but of course, is first and foremost absolutely delicious. Then, using that beer, create a fantastic food dish. Salivating yet?
On Saturday June 24th, the fantastic new bar and music venue Five Miles, in the heart of vibrant South Tottenham, will host a launch party for all of these creations. There will be two sittings, at 1pm and 4pm. The event will be ticket only, £30, and this ticket will get you:
A unique, branded event glass.
A welcome drink
A two-thirds pour of each of the five collaboration beers.
Your choice of any three of the food dishes; the two you don’t choose will be available for purchase, if desired.
Bragging rights for having been at the first ever Pair event!
The partnerships:
Affinity Brew Co. & Craving Coffee
Brick Brewery & Pedler
Elusive Brewing & Stansted Farm Shop
Weird Beard & Howard’s Meat Co.
Tickets are available NOW from Pair 2017
More info on the beer and food pairings soon but ours is gonna rock!
Let’s Celebrate our 223rd brew!
Peckham Pils has been with us since we started in 2013 and continues to be our flagship beer. We were one of the first London micro breweries to produce this style. We now produce 10 times the beer we started out making and so we thought sod it, let’s celebrate. So behold our commemorative 223rd brew in a special limited edition shrink wrapped, 500ml can.
Designed by local artist and graphic designer, Iris Loi, through a collaboration with Peckham Platform, a creative and educational charity based in Peckham, it ensured that we supported and celebrated our local community, who are incredibly important to Brick, plus got a gorgeous design to boot.
Why 223rd? Well by the time we thought of the idea we had already bypassed 200 and we simply couldn’t wait to 250!
Available on Saturday 11th March 2017 exclusively at the Tap Room and from 4pm at our good friends Hop Burns and Black alongside myself of course for a tasting, and then from selected bottle shops, bars, restaurants from Monday 13th March 2017. You can also join us on Friday 17th March for a tasting session with one of our brewers at Salthouse Bottles in Brockley, London.
Also, check out the amazing stuff happening at Peckham Platform
and our fabulous graphic designer Iris Loi
Hope you enjoy it!

A little bit about Brick
We worked with London based creative agency Let’s Talk to create a 60 second insight video into the world of Brick and how we have evolved since we started in 2013.
Take a look – we particularly like the slow motion action of Ian getting onto the forklift!
London Drinker Festival 8/03/17
We are very excited to be at the London Drinker Beer and Cider Festival, which is running from 8th – 10th March 2017 at the Camden Centre, WC1.
There will be 250 London beers and we are sending some beauties on Cask and Keg.
In cask we have the Peckham Pale (4.5%) which has been going down a storm recently and has a ton of hop flavour and aroma. Another of our core beers, the Blenheim Black (6.5%) is being served in cask which is a rarity and has been specially racked off upon special request from the organisers.
There will also be 2 keg lines – The Pioneer IPA (6.5%) and the Red Brick Rye (5.0%).
The festival is being opened by award winning writer and broadcaster, Pete Brown plus there are tutored tastings throughout the festival.
