A lot has happened in the last 15 years and a good deal of it not for the good.
One positive has been the explosion of craft beer, in terms of styles, availability and quality.
Few if any breweries encapsulate that better than Kernel and its founder Evin O’Riordan who has now been brewing with a beard for 15 years.
Over the last few days Kernel have held events at pubs in London and Manchester and their latest tap room to highlight the range of beers they produce combined with some excellent cheese.
Kernel held a 10th birthday event in 2019 at their then new taproom in Sarf London on Saturday 14th September (it was at the end of Enid St, the far end of the Bermondsey Beer Mile).
Kernel’s beer remains excellent five more years on. Kernel continue to push at the boundaries of what makes good and interesting beer.
The bottles and the label remain as they were although rather easier to get nowadays. As much to the point Kernel just continues doing what it does very well. No crowdfunding, takeovers and mega-expansion plans.
Its perhaps the toughest of all business models but arguably the best.
Here’s to the next few years.
