Camden Hells — the lager that taught London to drink lager properly, from a brewery that started in a railway arch.
Camden Town Brewery began in 2010 under a railway arch in Kentish Town, and Hells was the beer that made its name. The name is a nod to its two parents — Helles, the soft Munich style, and Pilsner, the crisp Bohemian one — and it genuinely sits between them: the rounded malt of the first, the clean bitter snap of the second. Brewed with German malt and hops, lagered slowly, and finished at a restrained 24 IBU so nothing shouts. If you live in London you have almost certainly drunk it on tap; this is the same beer by the case. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. A case of 24 × 330ml bottles.
Cold but not numbing — the malt needs room.
Handles spice better than most lagers.
The default, and rightly so.
A safe case to put in front of anyone.

It is a play on Helles, the pale Munich lager style. Camden brews it as a cross between Helles and Pilsner — softer malt than a Pils, cleaner and drier than a traditional Helles.
