Over 200 breweries - including household names such as Truman's, Charrington's and Taylor Walker - have brewed beer in London's East End. Yet today, much of that heritage remains hidden. 

A new 80-page booklet - developed by local residents - uncovers this remarkable heritage and allows us a glimpse into the emergent new micro-breweries, championing the art of brewing beer once again in the East End.

The booklet is available online (click here or the image above) and I've found it a really wonderful read and it managed to leave me with quite a thirst.

I have also dropped off some free hard copies with Robert at Ye Olde Corner Shoppe in Morgan Street who stocks a fine range of the new craft beers mentioned towards the end of the booklet.
