German Kraft Brewing
This German craft brewery located inside the food hall at Mercato Metropolitana apparently prides itself on using water distillation and mineralization technology to produce its brews. The hops, malts and recipes are sourced from Steinbach Bräu, a 500-year-old Bavaria based brewery, which produces all its own ale by hand. German Kraft’s drinks menu includes the Heidi Blonde lager, Hopfen Kiss pale ale, Edel Weis wheat beer and the Kraft Rocket – a smoked lager. Most are served fresh out of the tank or from reusable containers to keep things sustainable. As well as seeing the brewing process in action, punters can order German-style nosh if they’re feeling peckish. Look out for ‘Kraft sessions’ – a regular live music night that takes place among the fronds and kegs of the bar’s brewgarden. And if you don’t fancy the trip to Elephant and Castle? Steins restaurant stocks the German beverages at its Kingston and Richmond branches.
Venue says: “The latest brewery on the London brewery scene bringing you fresh, unfiltered German beers in Mercato Metropoitano in Elephant & Castle.”
