Distortion Brewing Company

Head down to Nine Elms and you'll find Distortion doing exactly what London's best independent breweries do: making interesting beer without the pretension. The taproom's got that relaxed warehouse vibe—industrial but warm, the kind of place where you can chat to the brewers about what's on tap. They're known for pushing boundaries with their recipes, so you might find anything from traditional IPAs to weird and wonderful experimental brews. It's the sort of spot that rewards regulars but never makes walk-ins feel like outsiders.
