New pub to open above East London Brewing Co brewery on Blackhorse Beer Mile

Time Out London reports that East London Brewing Co (ELBC) will open a new pub, The Black Horse Tap, in the space above its brewery on Blackhorse Road, E17, on Friday 27 November.

ELBC joined the Blackhorse Beer Mile in the spring, when it added a taproom and gig venue. The Beer Mile is an area with a cluster of independent breweries, taprooms and bars. The new pub extends the company's presence there.

According to the report, the pub is designed to resemble a classic East End boozer. It will have room for 80 people inside and a further 80 on an outdoor terrace.

Drinks will focus on ELBC's cask range, along with in-house keg beers and lagers. A list of guest cask beers from elsewhere in the UK will change every week. There will also be a cocktail menu built around agave, plus wines and spirits from independent makers.

ELBC also plans to launch an open-fire kitchen. Street food stall Play With Fire will run a residency there until the end of the year.

The pub's address is Unit 2-4 Lockwood Way, Blackhorse Road, E17 5RB.
