Boxcar Brewery and Taproom
Boxcar Brewery and Taproom is situated right next to their brewery in Bethnal Green, London – tucked away in an atmospheric railway arch which is just a two-minute walk from Bethnal Green Tube Station. Although restricted by the confines of the arch, Boxcar has made great use of the space available both inside and out, so it appears much larger than it actually is.
Inside there are plenty of leather couches and chairs for comfortable seating, and the place has a relaxed and artisan feel. Outside, the wooden seating is picturesque and there is artistic mood lighting as well as well-kept planting. The bar itself offers 8 keg taps and 2 cask options and all the kegs were exclusively Boxcar beers and were made up mainly of Pale Ales, IPAs, and a DIPA.
Many of the beers on Boxcar are very modern hop-forward brews: well-made pale ale, hazy juices with varying varieties, and several stand-alone collaborations. As is common with this type of venue, they don’t serve food but you are able to bring your own. Alternatively, you can arrange to have food delivered and eat it on the premises. It’s a great little taproom, and well worth a visit to chill out and enjoy fresh Boxcar beers, even if you’re not local.
