It’s the bank holiday season! And that means it’s Beer Garden season!
As the weather improves and the days get longer, there’s nothing quite like a crisp, refreshing beer out in the sun. Here at Beer Passport, we’re big fans of the noble British tradition of stubbornly sitting outside in low double-digit temperatures to sip a cold drink. Beer Passport London 2023 is loaded with craft beer taprooms and beer gardens. And with that in mind, here are a few of our favourites.
Two Tribes Campfire
Based near Kings Cross, Two Tribes is born out of collaboration, celebrating their twin passions of music and beer. The Campfire venue is centred around an open firepit, where chefs serve up great food to a backdrop of visiting musicians and DJs.

Signature Brewery – Blackhorse Road
There are a few beer gardens up on Blackhorse Road (check out Beer Passport’s Blackhorse Road taproom trail right here), with Signature probably being the biggest.
There’s ample seating (with heaters that prove useful as the evening goes on), where you can enjoy tremendous beers, great musicians and comedians, and a mouth-watering selection of burgers, wings, and loaded fries.

Beer Passport recommends: Backstage, 5.6% IPA
40FT Brewery
Located in Dalston, 40FT were originally 2 x 20ft shipping containers. They’ve now expanded to a beautiful sprawling brewery and taproom. Tucked away off the main high street, you can’t miss this belting sun trap of a taproom on those warmer days.
