Caps & Taps

Phill Elliott and Stephanie Palgrave-Brown used to work in accountancy (him) and film and events (her). In the autumn of 2014 they went on a four-week ‘beer holiday’ in the US, visiting small breweries in Oregon and California. The offspring of their trip is Caps & Taps, Kentish Town’s first craft beer specialist. This is a tiny place but it sells around 300 beers from London, the rest of the UK, the US and the rest of the world. Look out for relative rarities: Burning Sky Cuvée from Sussex, Stone Old Guardian from Southern California, and Barrel-Aged India Hells Lager from nearby Camden Brewery. Fans of esoteric US beers are particularly well served.
