More About The Kernel Table Beer

A benchmark low-ABV pale ale from The Kernel Brewery in Bermondsey, London, first brewed in 2012 as an experiment in making a beer that stays full of flavour even at around 3% ABV.

It’s built on a simple but very deliberate base of Maris Otter malt and a touch of oats, giving a soft, rounded body that avoids the “thin” feel many low-strength beers fall into.

The hops change with each batch depending on what’s freshest, but the profile stays consistent in spirit: bright citrus, light tropical fruit or floral notes, always balanced with gentle bitterness rather than aggression.

Meet the Producer, Kernel Brewery

Kernel Brewery

Style: Brewery

The Kernel basically changed London beer forever and then carried on quietly making brilliant beer while everyone else argued online about haze levels.

Started by Evin O’Riordain in Bermondsey back in 2009, the brewery became one of the key names behind modern British craft beer. At the time most UK breweries were still heavily tied to either traditional cask ale or bland industrial lager. Then Kernel arrived making beautifully balanced pale ales, porters and IPAs inspired by American brewing but without loads of gimmicky nonsense attached.

The thing people always notice first is the labels. Plain white text-heavy designs that look more like old pharmacy packaging than craft beer branding. Completely iconic now.

The beers themselves lean heavily into balance and drinkability. Their pale ales and IPAs helped introduce loads of UK drinkers to Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe and all the big modern hop varieties before every supermarket shelf became covered in them. Crisp bitterness, proper structure and no unnecessary sweetness weighing things down.

Then there’s the dark beer side. Export stouts, porters and brown ales packed with roast malt, chocolate and coffee character without becoming ridiculously heavy. Kernel dark beer in winter is basically public service infrastructure at this point.

Even after influencing hundreds of breweries, Kernel still feels oddly low-key. No massive hype campaigns, no endless collaboration circus, just very very good beer brewed with frightening consistency.
