Not a sniff of anything brewed on the premises unfortunately.

Afternoon visit, my first visit here and it was a good experience. I had a steak baguette with my beers which I thought was a bit pricey but was extremely good. The weather outside was absolutely awful but it did not deter the smokers from using the garden area.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| XT Brewing - Palomino | 4.10 | | Collaboration brew between XT and Barnet Brewery. The XT web site shows it as 4% but the handwritten pump clip in the pub said 4.1% it also had the spelling Palomeno. A good tasty traditional bitter ale. |
| Barnet - Barnet Best | 4.20 | | |
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Triple fff - Comfortably Numb (spent a while at 5.4%) | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Black Sheep - Best Bitter | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Adnams - Ghost Ship | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Moorhouse's - Stray Dog | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Barnet - Pryor Reid IPA | 6.00 | Not Tried |

Quite busy in the early evening, many of the customers here to eat rather than drink. I was offered a view of the small brewery, which is very much in its early days at present.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barnet - Palomino | 4.00 | | The main product and, in order to keep up with demand, this beer is not actually brewed in Barnet, but by sister brewery the Thame Brewery. Amber-coloured. A fruity, malty, pale ale. |
| XT Brewing - XPA | 5.90 | | Golden, crisp, fruity hop tastes. Strong and a little sweet. |
| Barnet - Summer Breeze | 4.20 | | Brewed on the small plant at the Black Horse, Barnet. A reddish amber colour. Thin tasting, fruity and sweet, but somehow also dry. Needs more work I think and I almost gave two stars. |
| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 | Not Tried | |

The pub is found in High Barnet, Greater London, EN5 4HY.
A large pub at a prominent road junction on the west side of Barnet. Formerly owned by Allied Breweries, the pub has been opened out into one large space, with a garden to the side and a courtyard area to the rear. Now owned by small pub chain Oak Taverns, the pub has been smartly refurbished and a two barrel brewery was installed in an outbuilding in 2013.
We have visited this pub 3 times, seen 22 different beers and tried 5 of them.
