Evening's first stop up from the station. Vast in size and the counter was heaving with orders. Several spillages noted in all the haste.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elephant School (sub-brand of Brentwood) - Porter in a Storm | 4.90 | | In good nick but more an end of session rather than start of session beer. Why doesn't Brentwood show the true brewing provenance on pump clips? |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Nethergate (was Nethergate Growler for a while then name reverted) - Suffolk County Best Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Ruddles Best (was 3.7%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Brentwood - Gold | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Adnams - Samba City 2016 | 4.20 | Not Tried |

I came here with 6 or 7 CAMRA bods after a session at Billericay Lions Beer Festival and a look around Billericay Brewery. Nice that they were having a special focus here on a local-ish micro. Unfortunately it was one whose beers I don’t personally much care for.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nelson - Trafalgar Bitter | 4.10 | | A fairly standard, brown, malty bitter. |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Ruddles Best (was 3.7%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
