Sunday afternoon and I note several of the same customers sitting in the same seats as last week and the same band setting up for music later. I must not become a creature of habit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Evil Twin - Imperial Mexican Biscotti Cake Break | 10.80 | | Served from keg – a collaboration beer with Westbrook Brewery. A monster of a beer. Black and smells of fruit cake. Taste starts with cake, moves into biscuit and ends with chilli. Fabulous. |
| Hawkshead - Cumbrian Five Hop | 5.00 | | Golden and very hoppy. |
| Track - Going to the Sun | 7.00 | | From key-keg. Cloudy pale gold. An IPA – very fresh and lovely. |
| Hawkshead - Windermere Pale (was 3.5%) | 3.40 | | Golden and nicely crisp. |
| Redemption - Fellowship Porter | 5.10 | Not Tried | |
| Kent - Craft Pale | 3.80 | Not Tried |

Mid-afternoon visit. I stayed until a country band started playing and used that as an excuse to move on.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gun - Zamzama IPA | 6.50 | | Golden and foamy and very tasty. |
| Dark Star - Bock | 5.40 | | Dark brown, strong and sweet. Knowing that I don’t usually much enjoy Bockbier I had ordered just a half and I’m glad I had no more. |
| Silver Brewhouse (formerly Raw) - Opposite Attraction | 4.60 | | A ‘White IPA’, pale and no doubt intentionally cloudy. But this seemed unsettled and overly-yeasty. Acceptable, but I’m fairly certain it was not quite right. |
| Kent - Craft Pale | 3.80 | Not Tried |
09 Oct 2017 (Stephen Harris)
Early evening and this pub is quiet tonight.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - Hophead Extra | 5.80 | | Very much to my liking and certainly has that little bit extra. |
| Harbour - Antipodean IPA | 5.50 | | A golden pint with excellent southern hemisphere hop flavours. |
| First Chop Brewing Arm - POD | 4.20 | | A well-flavoured Stout. Smooth with lots of vanilla. |
| Siren Craft - Under Current | 4.50 | Not Tried |
06 Sep 2017 (Stephen Harris)
Early-evening and busy.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wishbone - Marvin | 4.30 | | A US-type Red Ale. A nice balance of hop flavours on sweet malt. |

| Kent - Craft Pale | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Wishbone - Gojira | 5.00 | Not Tried |

Early evening. I used the upstairs lounge, which is very comfortable and more than doubles the customer area at this pub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

Mid-evening. Since I was last here, this pub has opened an upstairs lounge, a ‘secret’ roof-top area (shhh, don’t tell anyone) and a kitchen. I saved all of these for another day.

The pub is found in Limehouse, Greater London, E14 7JD.
This pub in Commercial Road was present by 1871 as the Railway Tavern; the licensee at the time being William Gordon Crow, who previously ran the Crow’s Nest nearby. It is a Victorian era, single bar, street corner pub that nestles almost underneath the railway line beside Limehouse station. Traditionally a Charrington’s house; that brewery’s former ownership can still be seen in the green panels in the windows. For a while in the 1980s the pub was renamed Stepney East, before reverting to the Railway Tavern name. By 2010 the ownership had moved to Punch Taverns and in December 2016 it re-opened following refurbishment as the newest outlet for the growing Craft Beer Co. chain. Six handpumps and twenty-one keg taps on the bar. Re-named June 2025.
We have visited this pub 27 times, seen 121 different beers and tried 67 of them.
