Spanners, Hangers, and Bangers - Dennis Keley 

On a cold frosty January morning, a hardy band of 12 members from the Engineering Group met at Tonbridge station for a visit to The Camden Town Brewery in North London. We journeyed to London Bridge station and made a tube journey on to Kentish Town underground station, before surfacing up to Kentish Town Road. A quick walk towards the City before stopping at a coffee stop and then turning along Prince of Wales Road, brought us to the Camden Town Brewery. It is based under three railway arches. It acts as a small scale brewery producing a range of beers and trialing them in their beer hall under the arches. Beers that are a success are then produced in greater volumes at their main brewery in Enfield. We sampled a range of beers and heard about the origins of the brewery before having a guided tour around the brewery production areas. The guide was excellent and we finished off each choosing a beer from a range of 25 beers to sample. We left, thanking them for a really good visit and after lunch at Camden Lock, we made our way back home having had a great time and learning a bit more about the brewing industry.
