I’m the first customer through the door at noon following a long circuit of Highgate and Hampstead on foot. I don’t have the place to myself for long though.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| West by Three - DDH #1 Enigma & Simcoe | 4.80 | | Cloudy pale gold. Soft, fruity flavours. Pineapple. The novelty of these things is starting to ware off. |
| Wander Beyond - Peak | 3.80 | | A hazy-golden, soft Pale Ale that does not taste very fresh. |
| Siren Craft - Under Current | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Five Points - Railway Porter | 4.80 | Not Tried | |

My first time here – excellent place. They have an especially good cask beer selection for the duration of the London Beer City week and it looks as if it is proving popular.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beavertown - Smog Rocket | 5.40 | | Great to find a cask version of this lovely, smoky Porter. |
| Cloudwater - Session IPA | 4.80 | | A pale, hazy, gold colour. Hop-filled. Bang on trend. |
| Weird Beard - Duke of Dank | 6.30 | | Special beer brewed for this pub for this week. A bitter Red IPA. Marvellous stuff. |

Evening latish. Knew I'd find a nightcap beer here. Annoying to have brazen e-ciggers puffing at the bar.

| Hammerton - Baron H Black IPA | 5.80 | | One to feast on. Black IPA with Earl Grey |
| Moor - Nor'Hop | 4.10 | Not Tried | |

The pub is found in Highgate, Greater London, N6 5JG.
In Highgate High Street, once a coaching inn with a rear courtyard re-opened as a narrow, but deep, specialist beer and cider house. Impressive array of 10 handpumps. Often a large cider flagon on the bar counter top and 10 keg taps on the bar back.
We have visited this pub 4 times, seen 24 different beers and tried 7 of them.
