Nice weather and the outside seats are popular in the late afternoon.

Early evening and I squeeze on to the end of a table with my pizza.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Siren Craft - Liquid Mistress Red IPA | 5.80 | | I cannot find fault with this beer. |
| Wild Card - Table Beer | 2.70 | | From a keg of some kind. Low-strength perfection. |

Unusually quiet in here on a Sunday evening and I took advantage of the lack of waiting time for a pizza to indulge myself.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crate - Chocolate Orange Stout | 6.50 | | This was one of my favourite beers tried at the recent Pig’s Ear Beer Festival and it was nice to savour a whole pint of it in more relaxed surroundings. |
| Cloudwater - A-W18 One-off ESB | 5.50 | | Hazy brown in colour. More evidence of Cloudwater’s return to cask beer production. This is a robust Bitter with a lot of hop in the nose and a mostly malty flavour. |
| Crate - Golden | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Crate - Session IPA | 3.60 | Not Tried | |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Strawberry Lucaria | 4.50 | Not Tried |

Early-evening and comfortably busy with little queuing at the bar.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pressure Drop - Orla | 3.80 | | I’ve heard good things about this beer and was pleased to see it here. Served from key-keg. It is a refreshing beer; herbal and fruity and tart. Very nice. |
| Crate - Belgian Pale | 4.80 |  | This beer seems to come in various strengths and tonight was advertised as 5%. I found it a bit bland and did not note the flavours I had found in a canned version on a previous visit. |
| Bristol Beer Factory - Milk Stout | 4.50 | Not Tried | |

It is spookily empty in here – people have clearly forgotten what to do when it rains.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|

As always there is a good crowd here, although nobody brave enough to sit outside.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crate - Radanas DIPA | 8.80 | | Hazy gold. A monster. |

The pub is found in Hackney, Greater London, E9 5EN.
Hackney Wick has seen a transformation from grim area of industrial units to thriving ‘creative’ quarter. Only problem is, all the traditional pubs had closed down. The Crate Brewery was established in July 2012 in a former industrial premises and is a combination of brewpub and pizza restaurant, although with a predominately ‘pub’ feel. There is a large, high-ceilinged room and outside seating (some in boats) beside the canal. Initially the five-barrel brewery kit was visible in a room alongside, but in July 2013 the brewery moved to larger premises nearby. Inside, the furniture is made of recycled packing cases and pallets. It stands literally at the gate of the Olympic Park.
We have visited this pub 58 times, seen 103 different beers and tried 61 of them.
