Central London has been a ghost town today and I stop off here on the way home from work thinking that Stratford shops must be where everyone is hiding. But it is unusually quiet here too.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - IPA | 6.00 | | I’m in the mood for some strong beer and this hits the nail on the head. |
| Titanic - Plum Porter Grand Reserve | 6.50 | | Dark, fruity and warming. |
| Tap East - Tonic Ale | 3.00 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - No. 6 Blonde | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Poplar Pale Ale | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

Mid-evening visit after a day out in Maidstone. There has been football at the Olympic Stadium, meaning that it is plastic cups and bouncers on the door here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - Tonic Ale | 3.00 | | Enjoyable, light, hoppy pint. |
| Tiny Rebel - Chocolate Stay Puft | 5.20 | | Plenty of chocolate, but way, way too sweet for my taste buds. |
| Tap East - Poplar Pale Ale | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Brewery Birthday 60 Shilling Scotch Ale | 3.00 | Not Tried |

Early to mid-evening. Peak Christmas shopping season and it is busy in here throughout.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew York - Fairytale of Brew York | 4.70 | | Black, sweet. Chocolaty and nutty (of the pistachio variety). Very nice. This brewery seemingly can do no wrong. |
| Wiper and True - Peel & Stone | 6.20 | | From a keg of some kind and initially a bit too chilled. This is a strong and mellow, golden IPA. |
| Track - Mosaic Eater | 4.40 | | Paradise for Mosaic hops fans such as myself. |
| Tap East - Tonic Ale | 3.00 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - No. 6 Blonde | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Poplar Pale Ale | 3.80 | Not Tried |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bristol Beer Factory - Southville Hop | 6.50 | | A good, crisp, strongish, citrusy IPA. |
| Harbour - Kernowfornia | 4.80 | | A ‘California Common’ – not a beer style with which I have much familiarity. Pleasingly light and smooth and hoppy. |
| Ilkley - Mary Christmas | 4.70 | | A dark Bitter; quite heavily-spiced. I thought I was tasting cloves and nutmeg. Not much to my liking to be honest. |
| Tap East - East End Mild | 3.50 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Tonic Ale | 3.00 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - A.P.A. (American Pale Ale) | 4.30 | Not Tried |

Unusually busy here for a Monday evening. I think it may have been fulfilling its ‘man crèche’ role during peak Christmas shopping season.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alechemy - Charisma | 3.70 | | Another tasty, pale beer. |
| Redwell - Extra Pale Ale | 4.60 | | Light of colour but full of flavour. Good to see Redwell in cask. |
| Tap East - East End Mild | 3.50 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - A.P.A. (American Pale Ale) | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - IPA | 6.00 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Brewery Birthday 60 Shilling Scotch Ale | 3.00 | Not Tried |

Late evening and busy as expected. Usual clinical operating theatre, mortuary or dentist surgery atmosphere. Take your pick.

Quite late in the evening. Pleased to find some of the pub’s anniversary specials still available, having missed the birthday party whilst on holiday.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - Brewery Birthday 60 Shilling Scotch Ale | 3.00 | | Dark brown with a creamy head. A lightweight Scottish-style Mild. Authentically inoffensive. |
| Tap East - Wit | 4.50 | | From a keg of some sort. Hazy, pale, cold and fizzy. An unspectacular Witbier. |
| Tap East - Gingerbread Stout | 5.50 | | From key-keg. A somewhat flat pint with no head. Black. Lots of ginger flavour but a bit lacking in Ooomph – not sure if that was just an effect of the lack of condition. |
| Tap East - East End Mild | 3.50 | Not Tried | |

A quick visit on the way home.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salopian - Mixed Metaphor | 4.50 | | A heavy duty black beer with a brown head. Very well-hopped. Somewhere between a Black IPA and a Stout I think. |
| Tap East - Phoenix Red | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - No. 6 Blonde | 4.10 | Not Tried | |

Early evening for a couple after a spot of shopping.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beavertown - Phantom Earl | 4.80 | | From key-keg. A cloudy, golden beer in the Berliner Weiss style. Flavoured with lemon and Earl Grey tea. Bergamot. Fantastic. |
| Northern Monk - Bombay Dazzler | 4.80 | | From key-keg. A cloudy, golden colour. Described as an ‘Indian Witbier’. Low hop rates but lots of spice and botanicals. A seriously good beer in my opinion. |
| Weltons - Equal Night V2 Black IPA | 4.20 | | A dark brown beer with good hop levels – Apollo and Calypso according to the pumpclip. |
| Tap East - Phoenix Red | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Smokestack Porter | 6.00 | Not Tried | |
| Brew York - Little RIPA | 4.20 | Not Tried |

Still quite busy with after-workers at 8pm. Standing room only in fact.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ilkley - Green Rose | 4.40 | | A very different beer from Ilkley’s ‘The Green Rose’ brewed a few years ago. This one is golden and dry. |
| Tap East - Phoenix Red | 4.00 | | The first brew of this beer for a few years. It has been at 4.0%, 5.2% and this time has come out at 5.0%. I found it too sweet. |
| Weltons - Old Cocky | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Smokestack Porter | 6.00 | Not Tried |
