ABOUT US

Taproom at Elephant & Castle

We’re on a mission to brew authentic German Beers here in London

We are German KRAFT Brewery, a ‘craft’ beer brewery rooted in German tradition, bringing fresh, authentic German-style beers here to London, UK. All are brewed and served fresh on-site. We opened our first brewpub in the sustainable market Mercato Metropolitano in Elephant & Castle. We've been sharing the same values since our beginning and strongly believe in and follow the MM Manifesto.
German Kraft was born out of the desire to revive the ceremony that traditionally surrounds beer drinking in Franconia; to create a locally brewed beer, full of character and drink it fresh from the tank.  Our highly controlled brewing process with state-of-the-art equipment allows us to create consistently high-quality brews; unfiltered, unpasteurised and without additives or preservatives. This results in the beer having a short shelf life but it’s exclusively served fresh from the tank and keg at our taproom for optimal quality. We brew all our beers according to the German purity law from 1516, only using water, malt, hops & yeast pushing the boundaries of creating great, flavourful craft beer without fuss.

We’re very excited for our @puritybrewingco collab Zwickel release tomorrow! Come meet the brewers and try it next to our Heinrich Zwickel & Heidi Helles 🤌
We’ve teamed up with Long-time friends, @puritybrewingco to collaborate on a special Zwickel🍻

Come try it at our first pour release party. Meet the brewers behind the creation.

Date: Wednesday 22nd March

Time 5:00pm

Location: German Kraft in Elephant & Castle

Entry: Free

Zwickel is a type of lager that we have grown to love. Originally, the word 'Zwickel' was used to refer to the small amount of beer taken by a brewmaster from the barrel with the aid of a special siphon called the Zwickelhahn.

Now we have tweaked our collab recipe to create a full bodied, Zwickel that still has some aroma hints of the yeast in suspension, making the lager slightly cloudy. Paired with a good amount of hops, this beer has a bit more hop punch than your average Helles.

Expect aromas of honey, black pepper, paired with a sweet, complex malty taste. Purity Brewing and German Kraft share the passion of brewing excellent beer within the reigns of the purity law of 1516 and this beer shows how this limitation of only using 4 ingredients can spark imagination and complex flavours from 'just a lager'.

We look forward to seeing you there! 🎉
Did you know you can order a ‘Mass’ (1L Stein) of any of our beers at our brewgarden? 🍺
Hefeweizen has a long tradition in Germany. ⛰️🍺☀️ Our ‘Lotte’ is a classic example of the creamy, full-bodied beer style with hints of banana and clove. 🍌 reminiscent of hiking up a mountain in Bavaria and treating yourself to a refreshing wheat beer at the peak 🧗🤤
Happy International Woman’s day! 💪 Meet the dynamic duo Bonny & Irina smashing the marketing & private hires at @kraftdalston 🪩 Our fav blooper of the Chef walking in mid filming 😂
