It was Brighton Beer Week and this was one of many pubs supposedly doing something special for the occasion, unfortunately the whole thing seems to have been what one of my friends called a damp squib (or damp squid as I like to say). Tuesday afternoon and quiet at the time of our visit, no dark ales on cask but I was given a taster of one of the keg ones.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Laine - Smash | 4.30 | | Golden ale, a bit of a nothing beer really. |
| Laine - Brighton (North Laine) - Hop Bomb | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Laine - Brighton (North Laine) - Golden Laine | 3.80 | Not Tried |

Evening visit. Surprisingly quiet.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Laine - Brighton (North Laine) - Yippee Ki Yay | 4.90 | | Like many a home brew here had that metallic twang back taste, so is this from the brewing process or the storage/dispense? |

Headed down towards the Concorde for the Eagulls gig. Big pub with lots of empty spaces. The two of us took up a long table meant for about ten. Good atmosphere though.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - Original | 5.00 | | Excellent condition. Nice but given the full on brews that we'd had at the craft beer co, it seemed quite mild. |

Evening. All low lights, even little candles in glasses in front of each pump clip making them damn difficult to read.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Laine - Brighton (North Laine) - The Lock In | 4.60 | | A staff brew with pineapple. The pineapple came through but the beer had a more overpowering metallic edge |
| Dark Star - Hylder Blonde | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Laine - Brighton (North Laine) - Deadwood | 4.70 | Not Tried | Bourbon Brown - matured in a bourbon cask apparently |
| Laine - Brighton (North Laine) - 48 | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

The pub is found in Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 4AA.
In Gloucester Place, once known as The Gloucester, opened as a brew-pub in September 2012, in premises that formerly housed a nightclub. It is a very large bare-boarded premises on several levels, with the brewing equipment prominently visible behind the bar. The beers were initially contract-brewed (mostly at W.J. King & Co. in Horsham, or so it was said), with the in-house brewery coming on-stream in early 2013. 12 handpumps in 3 banks, each of 4 but the 4 round the right hand side side are rarely in use. CAMRA discount for card carrying members.
We have visited this pub 15 times, seen 53 different beers and tried 15 of them.
