Early evening and there are a few after-work groups in.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neckstamper - Mizzle | 6.00 | | Probably from key-keg I think. A milky-complexion NEIPA. Full-bodied and bitter. Really good. |
| Husk - Derek's Bitter | 3.50 | | A golden, session-strength Bitter with a nice malt and hops balance. |
| Marble - Tropical Sour Saison | 5.50 | | Keg-dispense. A collaboration with Walthamstow’s Wild Card Brewery. Hazy gold, fruity and sour. |
| Redemption - Urban Dusk | 4.60 | Not Tried | |
| East London (ELB) - Quadruped Black APA | 5.30 | Not Tried |

Early to mid-evening. The pub is fairly quiet, although I notice that it is deemed necessary to have a bouncer on the door.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neckstamper - Session IPA (Azacca/Ekuanot) | 4.20 | | From key-keg. Hazy gold and well-hopped. Bitter. |
| Neckstamper - Squencher IPA | 5.40 | | From key-keg. Golden. A really nice, fruity, US-style IPA. I even kidded myself that I could taste pineapple. |
| Redemption - Hopspur | 4.50 | | Fresh and hoppy. |
| Husk - Steam Beer | 5.20 | | Described as a Brown Ale, although it is more of an amber colour to my eye. Unfiltered. A smooth mouthfeel. |
| Redemption - Pale Ale | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Redemption - Victorian Mild (collaboration with The Kernel) | 6.00 | Not Tried | On the pumps and ready to go – but being launched “tomorrow”. |

Mid-evening visit after work. It is hot and sticky tonight and I soon switched to the cooler key-keg beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neckstamper - Moon Curser APA | 5.20 | | From key-keg. A golden beer with luscious fruity tastes – peachy. |
| Five Points - Field Day Citrus Pale | 4.20 | | From key-keg. Golden, dry and lemony. |
| Redemption - Trinity | 3.00 | | A tasty, low-strength beer – this example could have been fresher. |
| Redemption - Pale Ale | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Redemption - Hopspur | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Three Sods - Belgian Bugger | 5.00 | Not Tried |

A good crowd in here for opening night included brewery bigwigs, beer-spotter types and wide-eyed locals, incredulous that somebody is attempting to do something good in the area. As well as six Redemption cask beers on the bar, I noticed that the fridges were bursting with products from other London micros.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redemption - Fellowship Porter | 5.10 | | I love a good Porter, and this is a really good one. |
| Redemption - Big Chief | 5.50 | | Top-notch IPA in really good form. Close to a five star beer. |
| Redemption - Hopspur | 4.50 | | Redemption’s regular dark Bitter and to be honest, I’ve tasted better examples. |
| Redemption - Pale Ale | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Redemption - Trinity | 3.00 | Not Tried | |
| Redemption - Rock the Kazbek | 4.00 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Bow, Greater London, E3 3QX.
In Devons Road, established by the 1880s as the Bricklayers Arms, this pub was rebuilt as an estate pub, probably in the 1930s. In its day it was a Watney’s Brewery house. In recent years it has passed through a succession of names and themes, including Kitsons and the Liquor Inn. Looking very tired and unloved in the early years of the twenty-first century, the pub has started in 2017 a new lease of life as the Angel of Bow. It is now a joint venture, with Redemption Brewery as one of the partners. Refurbished and redecorated, with six handpumps on the bar. There is one open plan bar space inside, with some patio seating at the front.
We have visited this pub 4 times, seen 18 different beers and tried 12 of them.
