crate brewery

The popular Hackney Wick brewery is heading for Canary Wharf If you're going for drinks in Hackney Wick, it's highly likely you'll end up at CRATE, the canalside craft brewery inside The White Building. Opened in 2012 by Neil Hinchley and Tom and Jess Seaton, it's become one of the most popular spots in the neighbourhood - the outside seats are like gold dust on sunny days. Soon there'll be even more CRATE to go around as the team is opening another waterside brewery in east London, taking over a vast site in Canary Wharf's Wood Wharf, complete with an 80-capacity garden. Like the OG venue, the Canary Wharf CRATE will serve the same core range of lagers, pale ales, IPAs, stouts and ciders, alongside limited-edition experimental craft beers and a rotating line-up of guest brews from around the world. The bar will also be pouring new soda cocktails, like vodka raspberry yuzu and gin lemon koij for the non-beer drinkers. CRATE's pizzas, made with Wildfarmed flour, will also be making the move over to Canary Wharf, with faves like the sage & truffle, spicy salami, and Middle Eastern lamb on the menu alongside some exclusive flavours for Wood Wharf. A regular roster of DJs and record labels will be bringing the vibes on Friday and Saturday nights. Continuing the same sustainable ethos as in Hackney Wick, the new CRATE will feature in-house made light installations, handmade cushion covers and banquettes, timber terrazzo surfaces made from repurposed waste material, wines on tap delivered in returnable kegs, and pizza boards made from Notpla biodegradable seaweed substances. Speaking about the opening, CRATE co-founder Jess Seaton says: "We can’t wait to bring CRATE to a new part of London. We feel so lucky to have built an incredible community in Hackney Wick, then we found a space in Wood Wharf that we fell in love with, and wanted to bring the authentic CRATE vibe to. The whole family has chipped in for an ‘all hands on deck’ situation to renovate as much of the space as we can by ourselves, the true CRATE way!"
