Two places to drink it

The brewery is where the beer is made. The bar brings Belgian beer culture to Epping High Street. Same beer, two different evenings.

The café on Epping High Street by day: a black and gold The Belgian Brewer sign reading craft beer, wine, coffee, spirits and jenever, folding doors open and a Thirsty? chalkboard on the pavement
