## About

Tap East opened its doors for the first time in 2011 several years before the explosion of breweries across the UK that would happen later that decade. Having run a successful wholesale business alongside The Rake in Borough Market for a number of years, Mike Hill and Richard Dinwoodie were approached by Westfield about the possibility of opening a brewpub in their new site, next to the Olympic Park in Stratford. They accepted, and after several months, lots of building work, and a brewery being shipped down from Cumbria, Tap East was born. Today the bar offers a welcome respite from the mono-culture of chain stores that populate much of the rest of the city centre, while beers produced on site have won a number of awards over the years.
