This pub survived its first Leyton Orient matchday with flying colours and depleted beer stocks. A new Brupond beer was in the cellar, but not settled enough to be put on sale. I found myself being introduced here to CAMRA national chairman Colin Valentine, an unexpected visitor.
| Adnams - Fat Sprat | 3.80 | | Amber beer that was flowing very well. |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 |  | Probably being sold before it was really ready, given the high demand today. Not completely settled and slightly yeasty. |
| Skinner's - Betty Stogs Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Robinsons - Dizzy Blonde Amarillo Pale Ale | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

Now open, at last, on a permanent basis. Opening night and it is packed. Many familiar faces, but lots of strangers too. The pub now has a cellar and the beer is in good condition.
| Redemption - Hopspur | 4.50 |  | |
| East London (ELB) - Nightwatchman | 4.50 | | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | Not Tried | Taken off sale as it was 'mis-behaving'. |
| Skinner's - Betty Stogs Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

This pub will be re-opening on a full-time basis later this summer, but has temporarily opened for this weekend only as part of Waltham Forest’s ‘Love your High Street’ festival. Very busy until late – still has no proper cellar, and all beers on stillage.
| East London (ELB) - Orchid Vanilla Mild | 3.60 | | Tasty, thick, vanilla mild/porter. |
| Brüpond - Tip Top Hop | 6.00 | | A development of the Continually-Hopped IPA recipe, and the first time I have seen it for sale in cask-conditioned format. A fruity, golden IPA. Hazy and flat. |
| Wild Card - Jack of Clubs | 4.50 | Not Tried | |

The concept is great and last Friday’s opening was much anticipated locally. Unfortunately the beer was rubbish on my visit and instead of settling down for the evening as planned, I grumbled a bit with some fellow, local ale drinkers and then went home.
| East London (ELB) - Jamboree | 4.80 |  | In dreadful condition – warm and near undrinkable from gravity dispense. |
| Redemption - Urban Dusk | 4.60 | Not Tried | |
| Beavertown - Neck Oil (keg) | 4.30 | Not Tried | Flat and warm apparently. |
| London Fields - Hackney Hopster | 4.20 | Not Tried | This ran out whilst I was in. |
