09 Nov 2024 (Hogan Sampling)

Following a walk to a couple of pubs nearby which were either without cask or lacking much more than the Doom Bar and Green King IPA range, this made a very welcome 6th visit of the day and by now late afternoon. 5 casks on from the Pilgrim Brewery and the chance to buy them in thirds meant I was not to be disappointed in the least. Good service for my flight of 3 thirds which were all labelled to identify each one, despite busy footfall. A welcome seat was to be had inside the slightly smallish tap room with many more seated outside in the covered courtyard on this mild early November afternoon.

Beer	ABV	Score	Notes
Pilgrim - Excalibur	4.10		Superb head and lacing and a yeasty look about it as not just a light froth in this amber ale. Very moreish and lightly fruity with a pleasantly bitter aftertaste.
Pilgrim - Progress Best Bitter	4.00		Very good head and lacing and as you would expect when drinking at the source. A very bitter, bitter and as I prefer. A good old-fashioned mouthfeel with a pleasing dryness in the aftertaste.
Pilgrim - Talisman	4.90		Holding its head and lacing to the very end as this was the third of the thirds I sampled. Chocolatey with coffee notes but not sweet and pleasantly malty instead. A good dry aftertaste.
Pilgrim - Surrey Original Pale Ale	3.70	Not Tried
Pilgrim - Exile - IPA	5.00	Not Tried

The pub is found in Reigate, Surrey, RH2 9BL.

Situated in the centre of Reigate off the main A25 in West Street since 1984, this is not on an industrial estate and the rear courtyard overlooks the scenic Reigate Priory cricket ground. From 2017 the new owners added the tap room to where old ground floor offices used to be. All the cask beer is gravity fed from a cellar at the rear of the bar with at least four cask on and six keg beers from the Pilgrim range also on. Card carrying CAMRA members will get a 10% discount on the beers. Dominoes and shove-halfpenny also on offer. Take-away beer is available from the brewery which is open weekdays from 9am. There are some bottled cask beers for sale in the tap room. You can bring in your own pizza from nearby. The tap room offers its beers also in third measures.

We have visited this pub once, seen 5 different beers and tried 3 of them.
