The United Kingdom’s brewing traditions were among those that influenced craft brewing in the U.S. Now, American craft brewers are influencing the U.K.’s burgeoning craft beer scene right back. U.S. brewers adopted, then adapted British styles such as pale ales and IPAs and the versions that up-and-coming U.K.breweries have been producing have considerably more in common with their U.S. counterparts than the English originals. London has become a hotbed of craft brewing activity in the past five years and among the best players to emerge during that time has been Camden Town Brewery, based in the district of the same name.
