Our Running Porter embodies the deep connections between two deeply British crafts: cheesemaking and brewing. In the 18th and 19th centuries ‘running’ beers were brewed to be enjoyed fresh, in contrast to “keeping” beers that were aged. This freshness aligns beautifully with crumbly territorial cheeses, which are them-selves often younger and with a lively, lactic character.
At its core, this collaboration is about drawing attention to the parallels between two modern foods/drinks that wear their history with pride. Both porters and territorial cheese are products of place and process. They reflect landscapes, communities and evolving craftsmanship and they can help connect our customers with a rich food heritage.
At The Kernel we have a longstanding friendship with Neal’s Yard Dairy, we share a love for food and drink rooted in tradition, a respect for place and process, and a curiosity about how heritage products can remain relevant, and delicious, in the modern world.

Producer Details
The Kernel Brewery was founded in 2009 by Evin O'Riordain in Bermondsey, England. It was one of London's first craft brewers, and within 10 years it had helped inspire the establishment of around a hundred new microbreweries in the capital. The original 6.5 hectolitre brewhouse on Druid Street was replaced in 2012 by a 32hl plant on Dockley Road in the Spa Terminus railway arches.
The brewery's ethos strongly favours quality over quantity, with quality control being at the heart of the operation. Around 90 percent of the beer Kernel produces is sold in London. O'Riordain says that "the demand is way higher than anything we can produce, it’s far beyond our capacity."
Kernel avoids unnecessary experimentation, with each brew being an intentional evolution of the previous batch. The hop types used are constantly changing in line with availability and the varying characteristics of each year's crop.
