A ‘Queen’s Jubilee Year’ –themed beer festival is in progress and it has drawn quite a big crowd.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Leeds - Jubilee IPA4.80ExcellentA golden IPA, brewed with English hops giving a herbal/grassy flavour, rather than the citrus taste of a US-style IPA.
Battledown - Four Kings Ale7.20GoodStrong and complex golden ale. Good hop mix.
Corvedale - Katie's Pride4.30AcceptableA chestnut-coloured mild. No hops, hint of roastiness.
Milestone - Lionheart4.20AcceptableA red ale with a malty, fruity, slightly sweet character.
Three Castles - Heritage4.20AcceptableA copper-coloured beer with some hop bitterness and plenty of fruity, toffee and caramel tastes. Not my kind of thing really.

The pub is found in Hornsey, Greater London, N8 7NX.

A large, late-Victorian, high street pub in suburban Hornsey. Comfortable bar at the front and more of a games room feel to the rear. Once a Whitbread pub, it is now a good supporter of London’s micro-brewing scene.

We have visited this pub once, seen 11 different beers and tried 5 of them.
