Umbrella Brewery

I had a pint of their raspberry cider in The Landseer yesterday which was lovely and then discovered that they are on Holloway Road, 100 yards from where i was sitting!

You can see the brewing plant if you look through the gate behind The Crown.

Apparently they are known for doing ginger beer, I have never heard of them but can highly recommend the cider, they have a new convert!

Cool. Will keep an eye out for them. Always looking for an excuse for a pint

Yes! I tried their ginger beer from Clapton Craft and it is DELICIOUS (if you like ginger). It's beer with ginger, not traditional ginger beer.

Raspberry cider? Ginger in beer??? What is Stroud Green coming to? Next thing people will be putting bananas in their tea!

That's too abominable to even contemplate. As for ginger in beer - it's not very far from ginger beer...
When I was growing up my father would sometimes make a ginger beer shandy, which is lager and ginger beer. It's also absolutely delicious. Not far from the Umbrella stuff, although that's a bit more grown-up.

The best cider I have ever had was a rhubarb one made by Hendersons.
