Rash Mahal, owner of Harold Wood brewery The East Side, has questioned the planning process in Havering after his application for a new taproom was refused.
The East Side Brewery in Harold Wood has had its application to open a taproom rejected, with the owner Rashpinder Singh Mahal saying regulars are “gutted”.
He s now working on a new creation, an IPA, which he hopes to be ready for July onwards.
This aligns with the London Craft Beer Festival in mid-August, with Rash hoping he can flaunt his new wares at the event.
A hard day s work yielded quite a haul of crates, ready for onward distribution.

Though still in its infancy, he is excited by the potential of this enterprise.
Rash s creations are already in stock at a few pubs in the capital, including The Carpenters Arms - the pub infamously bought by the Kray brothers for their mother Violet.
