Just for informational purpose.Brodies beers are not brewed in London but at Wobbly brewing co in Hereford.likewise most if not all of the beers at Battersea brewery are brewed at.Wobbly.and in recent weeks have had Brodies on cask which I will have to try again.

Just for informational purpose.Brodies beers are not brewed in London but at Wobbly brewing co in Hereford.

...and brewed in other places too and given the location, their gorgeous IPA should be called not Bethnal Green, but How Green Is My Valley.
