Early evening and busy mostly younger studenty folk enjoying a live solo artist in play of a blues style making for a pleasant atmosphere with an unusual and exciting beer range. The heat of the glowing pizza oven made it a tad warm however we decided to try a pizza and it was delicious. I liked this place hope to return soon.

Early evening visit and good to see plenty of people here checking out the new brewery in Hastings.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brewing Brothers - Attenborough’s Amber | 5.00 | | Brown in colour, quite a heavy, malt-driven beer. |
| Brewing Brothers - Ryeteous Brothers | 4.60 | | A cloudy red/brown colour. Rye twang and a decent hop presence. |

The pub is found in Hastings, East Sussex, TN34 1RL.
A street corner pub in Queens Road, opened in 1869 as the Imperial Inn, at what was then the edge of town. In 2014 the name of the pub was changed to Forbidden Fruit, but this venture did not last long and the pub stood empty and forlorn for a couple of years. The pub re-opened as the Imperial in September 2016. It now has a stripped-back décor, three handpumps on the bar and a pizza oven. Also visible behind the bar is the brewing equipment of the Brewing Brothers, the new in-house brewery.
We have visited this pub 13 times, seen 38 different beers and tried 25 of them.
