Early Friday evening. Two breweries here this-evening: Clouded Minds and Rose Brew (who for a couple of days at least are London’s newest brewery) plus a couple of wholesalers with some interesting brews.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rose Brew - Black Rose Chocolate Stout | 6.30 | | Pumped by hand out of a little keg – the brewer looked horrified when I asked if there was any added gas (a bottled version was also available). A highly unusual beer, which is brewed using rose water. It is a heavy black, chocolaty stout with a distinct taste of rose petals. I thought it was lovely. Ground-breaking stuff. |
| Clouded Minds - Elisir Amber Ale | 5.30 | | On key-keg dispense, but served too cold to drink – I had to cup it in my hands for a while to bring the temperature down. Deep amber in colour, it has some very good hop flavours. |

This is about the fourth evening event here featuring breweries, and the first I have managed to get along to. There are four London brewers present and a beer wholesaler selling beer in every format you can think of, plus a chap who makes flavoured sweet potato crisps from scratch whilst you watch. An enjoyable place to visit after work.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Five Points - London Smoke | 7.80 | | Poured from a bottle. The first time I have seen this beer for sale at an affordable price. A heavy, thick, black, smoky Stout. Superb. |
| Bad Seed - Oatmeal Stout | 4.00 | | Cask-conditioned version. An excellent, full-bodied Stout with a sweetish edge. |
| Canopy - Milkwood Amber Ale | 5.90 | | From key-keg, and again in perfect, brewery-fresh condition. Dark amber in colour. Strong, smooth, malty and a little sweet. |
| Canopy - Brockwell IPA | 5.00 | | From key-keg and in superb condition. A very good, slightly cloudy, US-style IPA. |
| Inkspot - Geronimo 20 | 4.60 | | Cask-conditioned version. Golden and very bitter. |

The pub is found in Covent Garden, Central London, WC2H 9JQ.
A permanent brewers' and beverage market every Friday 5-9pm that aims to support up and coming start-up brands allowing them a central London space to showcase to potential central London customer base and pub landlords. Essentially working as a central London tap room to spread the word and craft of the new wave of brewers in the capital. They aim to have a select but varied rotation of producers so each week is different- and they're inclusive: from larger Camden Town to smaller Rosebrew they have the scene covered!
We have visited this pub twice, seen 7 different beers and tried them all.
