Hogan Sampling		22 Feb 2025	The knowledgeable barman told me that it is all currently brewed in Leeds and my recent on-line research suggested Sheffield as I recalled and from the on-line CAMRA London Drinker article by Roger Warhurst and dated March 2022. Jamie Allsopp, proprietor, says "See you at the Bar with a pint of something foaming and delicious!" Did not see Jamie but tasted something that was presented as certainly "foaming" and the barman took time to fill to the top of my half glass in topping it. £2.75 a half and so the cheapest of this Central/West London outing by far. It had a very dry bitter, bitter first hit. Nothing sweet about it which I hate in a lot of bitters. Neither was there too much malt. All I could say was "Cor, cor, cor!" which is my beer lingo for meaning I am in seventh heaven and that it is a beer to die for! Extremely moreish and a superb dry bitterness lingering.
