Brick Brewery

The Brick Brewery's been a great addition to the area but went in earlier and can't help but feel they're jumping on the beer bandwagon and taking the piss with their prices. How they can charge 30p more than the EDT for the same pint is beyond me when they're actually brewing the stuff. Half pints in there are also way more than half the price of a pint. This is a rip off tactic that an operation as good as theirs should be above.

Hi reds - Thanks for your kind words on the brewery's tap room addition to the area. To address your comments, there is a difference in how beer is dispensed. The EDT serves only cask - hand-pulled - beer where as we serve both hand-pulled and keg beer. Our hand-pulled beer is cheaper than what the EDT charge, at ?3.60 per pint, and has been that price for more than three years. We have not jumped on any bandwagon. The same beer on keg is priced at ?4.20 because it takes more effort and more expense to dispense. Halves are priced at more than half the price of a pint as there is still as much effort to serve the half as the pint - cooling, gas, serving, staff effort, cleaning and maintenance. We can't dictate what a pub / bar charges for our beer. Pubs work to an overall gross profit (GP) margin and as such will keep some beers at a lower GP while others are a higher GP but the overall net is a consistent GP. Licensed premises will often price certain beers lower to attract customers, knowing they will possible switch to higher GP products once there. I would be happy to meet with you and explain the economics of both Brick's taproom but also that of the greater licensed premises trade. I hope we will again see you at the taproom. Ian

A self-professed voyeur on the EDF, I can't standby and watch shade being thrown at an amazing local business. The food and drink in the Brick Brewery is amazing and extremely reasonably priced. The people and the venue are also great. Worth a visit for those who haven't already realised how great it is!


Viva Brick Brewery!!

    • Avoid companies that are run by non trades people Seems to be the trend lately. Check them on Companies house first. There are some great family companies or sole traders. LMQ Roofing 07860 467708 lmqroofingservices@outlook.com ANR Roofing 08009330439 Fist on my list is Liam McQueen https://www.lmqroofingservices.com/ Honest, reliable, constant updates, proper written quotes professional and lovely polite workers.

And Crest Roofing based in EC1V 2NX came and gave a quote and seemed very lovely with some advice also. 07934 975769
    • Had a terrible experience with this company recently. Their rooofers were abusive and really not nice. Simple job to remove an aerial which we knew would mostly cost in scaffold turned into a nightmare, They dug up old rotten boards in our front garden (there for beetles) and use under the scaffold. When we questioned the positioning of the scaffold (we needed it down the side and not on top of plants and garden) I received a torrent of offensive teenage sexist shouting. The main guy doing this was called Jimmy. They did eventually remove the aerial (no tools to do so I had to supply) They told us the side of the hip needed new timbers and re-roofing. We'd recently had it inspected and it looked good (I'm a carpenter by trade and went and looked at rafters inside - no issue. They seemed to take offense at my carpentry knowledge also. They pulled ridge tile off then told us it would be 3200 to repair!! Stood on a non load bearing lead canopy and more.  Left cooked food and rubbish in garden, Just avoid them is my advice.One of an ever increasing number of firms owned not by trades people who subcontract and pay the scaffolders pennies. I'll do recommendations in another post!  
    • I live locally and am on Lordship Lane and North Cross Road most days. I've never been forced into traffic, or noticed any problem in any of these places! I appreciate that might be different with a buggy or mobility aid. I like to see people enjoying themselves outside. 
    • It's good that you've never personally had to experience poison being left but it is a known fact in this area. It's not fly tipping - people leave food out for foxes but there are also people who purposefully leave food out to kill animals.
