Drink Beer Straight Form The Tank @ London’s First “Tank Bars”

From Munchies:

Tank beer is all about freshness: beer that’s as close to brewery fidelity as possible. As the name suggests, the drink is dispensed into your glass from specialised tanks, engineered to preserve integrity. Last month, the UK’s first dedicated tank bar launched in east London’s Hackney Wick, courtesy of independent microbrewery Howling Hops.

“You can have a fresh bottle of lager but I think a tank beer takes you onto another experience altogether,” says Adrian Tierney-Jones, journalist and beer writer. “For me, tank beer is a good way of experiencing the beer at source, as it should be served. It really dances on your palate. There’s a crispness, a sprightliness, and it’s really refreshing. You feel like you’re closer to the brewery than you are with a bottle or draught.”
