Afternoon visit from when the pub opened at a few minutes past 2pm, a fairly large group of us stayed for most of the afternoon. I noteced a poster for the Socialist Worker displayed in the bar.
Currently three instead of the usual six cask ales on offer with COVID taking the blame.

I just popped in for one on passing but, as always seems to be the case here, stayed longer to chat to a friend who happened to be present.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kent - Brewers Reserve | 5.00 | | Pale. Very bitter. Citrus hop. |
| Goose Eye - Over and Stout | 5.20 | | Interesting to see others describe this beer as ‘dry’. I found it a bit sweet, with a lot of caramel in the flavour. Perhaps the recipe has changed. |

The third pub of a pre-football pubcrawl and I get left behind here when the rest of the gang move on to the nearby Antic pub. I did not note all of the available beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windswept - APA | 5.00 | | Contains, we suspected, every hop in Scotland. |

Early Friday evening and starting to get busy. The landlord apologised for the limited cask beer range tonight. A third beer was called ‘Steam Beer’ but had no obvious brewery name on the clip.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mad Squirrel (formerly Red Squirrel) - London Porter | 5.00 | | Very drinkable, smooth, chocolaty, dark Porter. |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Walthamstow, Greater London, E17 4SA.
A large, high street pub in Hoe Street which dates from 1865 and was rebuilt in its current, grand, late-Victorian style in 1892. By 2009 its fortunes were at a pretty low ebb, but it is much revived under new management and now a real community hub with a multitude of events taking place within its many rooms – not least of which being a well-regarded theatre company. Local CAMRA branch Pub of the Year 2018 and 2022.
We have visited this pub 16 times, seen 73 different beers and tried 34 of them.
