A Craft Beer Lover's Paradise
If you're serious about craft beer, The Beer Merchants Tap is your kind of place in Hackney Wick. The sheer scale of their selection is impressive—20 taps on rotation plus hundreds of bottles means there's always something new to try. I particularly love their Belgian and British offerings, though the international range (think Norway, Germany, USA) keeps things exciting. The taproom has that no-frills, beer-focused vibe that purists appreciate, and the staff clearly know their stuff when it comes to recommendations.
The food menu is small but perfectly formed, with cheese and meat platters that pair beautifully with your selection. It's not a destination for a full meal, but for a proper drinking session, it's ideal. The space feels authentic and unpretentious, which is rare these days. It's become a go-to for locals who want to explore beyond the usual pub fare without leaving the neighborhood.

Pour les amateurs de bière artisanale, The Beer Merchants Tap est l'endroit qu'il vous faut à Hackney Wick. La sélection est impressionnante : 20 tireuses en rotation et des centaines de bouteilles offrent toujours quelque chose de nouveau à découvrir. J'adore particulièrement leurs offres belges et britanniques, mais la gamme internationale (Norvège, Allemagne, États-Unis) rend l'expérience toujours excitante. Le taproom a cette ambiance sans chichis, centrée sur la bière, que les puristes apprécient, et le personnel s'y connaît vraiment bien pour les recommandations.
La carte est petite mais parfaite, avec des planches de fromages et de charcuterie qui se marient bien avec votre sélection. Ce n'est pas une destination pour un repas complet, mais pour une vraie session de dégustation, c'est l'idéal. L'espace a cette authenticité sans affectation, ce qui est rare ces jours-ci. C'est devenu un incontournable pour les habitants qui veulent explorer au-delà de la bière de pub habituelle sans quitter le quartier.
