This pub draws a somewhat Bohemian sort of crowd on a Friday evening, and is quite busy tonight.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brodie's (latterly contract brewed by Rhymney) - London Fields Pale Ale | 4.00 | | A strikingly good, hoppy, pale ale – as good a pint as I have drunk anywhere this year. Lingering juicy hop taste. |
| Brodie's (latterly contract brewed by Rhymney) - Bethnal Green Bitter | 4.00 | | As a basic session bitter, this is way above average. Amber in colour with fruity malt and subtle hoppiness. |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried |

I've been away in Belgium for a few days and return with a hop deficiency. This is the ideal place to find my antidote.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brodie's (latterly contract brewed by Rhymney) - Superior London Porter | 7.10 | | High class, strong, smooth, black porter. Luscious. |
| Brodie's (latterly contract brewed by Rhymney) - Amarilla | 4.20 | | Loads of citrus hops on a good, malty background. Dry. |
| Brodie's (latterly contract brewed by Rhymney) - Hackney Red IPA | 6.10 | | Sweetish, strong, malty beer which is also seriously hoppy. Long hoppy finish. |
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Bombardier (was Bombardier Glorious English) (use Eagle entry now please) | 4.10 | Not Tried |
