A bit of an after-work rush whilst I was in.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goose Shoreditch - Sour Cherry Tonka Bean Porter | 7.40 | | I think this was probably from keg - my notes don't specify. It's delicious. I love this kind of thing. |
| Goose Shoreditch - Freya | 5.80 | | From keg dispense. Named after my niece (probably). Hazy yellow Saison. Tastes of pepper and pear drops. |
| Goose Shoreditch - Wide Beam | 5.80 | | From keg dispense. A golden APA. Piney hops. |

Pub almost empty on Sunday evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goose Shoreditch - Restrictor Plate IPA | 6.40 | | From keg dispense. A mellow and fruity IPA. |
| Goose Shoreditch - Not Quite Breakfast | 4.60 | | A Gose from keg. Pale gold. Bit of salt. Melon! |
| Cleaver Craft Co. - 34° South | 4.50 | | Hazy gold. A rather raW, hoppy IPA. |

Having missed the opening night here, I waited for a quieter evening for a first visit. It is an impressive set-up, but expensive. Around half a dozen home-brewed beers are available from keg.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wylam - Macchiato | 6.50 | | A superb, dark, winter beer. Black, with a brown foam. Sweet, thick and tasting of nuts, coffee and chocolate. |
| North - Pale Hallertau Blanc + Mosaic | 4.10 | | Hazy pale gold. Great, fruity hop flavours. |
| Goose Shoreditch - Harvest Mild | 3.90 | | On keg dispense. A Light Mild, reddish/brown in colour. A fruity beer with little hop presence. Served cold and fizzy, which detracted. |

The pub is found in Shoreditch, Central London, E1 6PJ.
A large, new, brew-pub venture which opened on Shoreditch High Street in November 2018. There is a long bar counter on the left as you come in, with a raised seating area and visible brewery equipment towards the rear of the premises. It is an offshoot of the Goose Island Brewery of Chicago, now part of AB InBev, and its sixth brewpub worldwide. There are four handpumps on the bar. Closed then re-opened and re-named shortly afterwards in September 2022 but reportedly with no real ale available.
We have visited this pub 3 times, seen 9 different beers and tried them all.
