Mid-evening until late. A very nice atmosphere in here, and nobody minded that we had occupied a table on which just to drink (and talk rubbish) amidst the main dining area.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | | |
| Summer Wine (SWB) - Union Pale Ale | 4.10 | | A very nice, hoppy pale ale. |

Just back from Heathrow Airport and I popped in here for an early evening snack (as the cupboard was bare at home). I never got around to the snack, but ran in to some friends and ended up staying to closing time.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| TicketyBrew - Pale Ale | 5.30 | | Amber-coloured brew. I liked this a lot and had several. |
| Flipside - Flipping Best | 4.60 | | Tastes very malty and bitter after a few days away from English beers. Pretty good though. |
| Harbour - Amber Ale | 4.00 | | Not on top form – a little green I think. Tasted harsh. |
| Abbeydale - Moonshine | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Adnams - Oyster Stout | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Big Penny (formerly Truman's) as of late 2022 contract brewed - Swift | 3.90 | Not Tried | |

Early evening visit after turning away from the Orient Supporters Club, which is mobbed by members enthusiastically hovering up what is left of the beer festival there. Pretty busy in here too after today’s football match.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hardknott - Coolfusion | 4.40 | | Distinctly odd, but delightful. I started off thinking I had picked up a pint of lager and lime by mistake. Then the ginger hit me, and finally I got the hops. |
| Crate - IPA | 5.80 | | Amber-coloured and very fruity. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 7 | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Castle Rock - Harvest Pale | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Moor - Raw | 4.30 | Not Tried | |

Just a quick visit for a pint and a sausage roll on the way to football at Brisband Road.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tiny Rebel - Billabong Aussie Pale Ale | 4.60 | | Fresh, crisp, golden, hoppy. |

Getting quite busy in the early evening ahead of football at Brisbane Road. I only had time for a quick one.

Very busy in the early evening in the run up to football at Brisbane Road.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand Drawn Monkey - IPΔ Extra Pale IPA | 5.00 | | Very pale. Fragrantly hoppy, lemony hop flavours. |
| Kissingate - Mandarina Red | 4.80 | | A malty red ale with outrageously fruity, orangey flavours. Not sure I’d want a second one, but I did enjoy this. |
| Caveman (latterly a cuckoo at Leatherbritches) - EKG | 3.00 | | Light malt, low-strength, Kentish hops. Little bit of spice, but a bit too insubstantial for me. |
| Ilkley - Mary Jane | 3.50 | Not Tried | |
| Sunny Republic - Huna Red | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| East London (ELB) - Orchid Vanilla Mild | 3.60 | Not Tried | |

Quiet when I arrived, but rapidly filling out as quiz time approached. I’m far too thick for quizzing, so headed home.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brewster's - Decadence | 4.40 | | Pale and quite dry. Floral hops. |
| Redemption - Fellowship Porter | 5.10 | | Usually an excellent pint. But not this example which was thin-tasting and heading a little towards sourness. |
| Dark Star - Winter Meltdown | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Swannay (formerly Highland) - Island Hopping | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
| East London (ELB) - Orchid Vanilla Mild | 3.60 | Not Tried |

Fairly busy in here, with a band setting up for a later performance.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Big Penny (formerly Truman's) as of late 2022 contract brewed - Emperor | 4.20 | | Nutty and thick and malty and a bit of caramel. Chestnut-coloured. Infinitely better than the Everard’s-brewed prototype of this beer. |
| Clarkshaws - Gorgon's Alive! | 4.00 | | Described as ‘naturally hazy’ and a bit too much so in my view. Golden coloured, but the amount of suspended yeast detracted from the flavours. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | Not Tried | |
| Redemption - Fellowship Porter | 5.10 | Not Tried | |

The pub is found in Leyton, Greater London, E10 5OJ.
In High Road, initially this pub existed as a short-term ‘Pop-Up’ pub, open for the duration of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Then closed for nearly a year, it re-opened on a permanent basis in August 2013. The pub is housed in part of the former Leyton Town Hall. It has several different rooms in which to drink, and the toilets are housed deep in the dungeons. The interior of the pub is now very much more homely and comfortable than it appears in my early photo on this site from its pop-up days. Reclaimed by landlord and closed on October 2022, after alleged non-payment of rent. Re-opened under operation of Remarkable Pubs with a change of name in September 2024.
We have visited this pub 125 times, seen 256 different beers and tried 139 of them.
