Known for a full range of styles

Pillars brews nothing but lager in Walthamstow, East London. A team of family and friends has run it since 2016, and the brewery calls itself London's first craft lager brewery. Alongside the brewery and taproom there is the Malt Haus, which hosts live shows. The core range is Pilsner, Haus, Original Pale and Helles, joined by seasonal specials such as Cold Porter and the yearly Icebock.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
