It is mild enough tonight that quite a few people are sitting outside.

A brief call between bus and tube.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Street (formerly Queen's Head) - Lost in the Forest | 7.00 | | From key-keg and on a very slow pour. It is a strong Brown Ale with lots of cherry and some Demerara sugar. |

Enjoying a couple here mid evening with Matt B.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloudwater - There Are Things I Know Inside | 4.20 | | From a keg of some kind. A superior Pale Ale I thought. |
| Old Street (formerly Queen's Head) - Monorail | 5.30 | | Poured fresh from the tank (I think). A disappointingly middle-of-the-road Pale Ale I thought. |

One of the few taprooms to open on a Tuesday, and it's drawing a decent trade. Lovely brewing smells here tonight.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Street (formerly Queen's Head) - Rodmeister Generale | 7.50 | | A strong, hazy-golden, US West Coast style IPA. Bitter, with aromatic hop flavours. |

Quite late in the evening and we sank into a couple of deep armchairs that I think might be new additions to the furnishings.

|---|---|---|---|
| Old Street (formerly Queen's Head) - Eau de Wakatu | 5.20 | | Fresh from the tank and distinctively hoppy. |

The pub is found in Bethnal Green, Greater London, E2 0EJ.
Old Street Brewery began life in 2016 and for a while brewed on a very small kit in the cellar of the Queen’s Head pub near King's Cross railway station. In early 2018 the brewery was relaunched in a railway arch very close to Bethnal Green tube station. A taproom area has been developed at the brewery which now opens daily except Mondays. No cask conditioned beer is sold at the Taproom. Closed October 2021.
We have visited this pub 20 times, seen 29 different beers and tried them all.
