Same beers as 2 days before, but I came in to try a couple of their bottled Belgian beer range, Dubuisson Cuvee des Trolls and Barbar.

Although the pub has changed management, the Wapping brewery is still on site. Normally a couple of Wapping beers on, plus a couple of guests and they have also started to stock Belgian bottled beers
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wapping - Baltic Extra | 4.50 | | Pale chestnut with disappearing white head. Lovely fruit/hop combo on aroma with citrus and red berries. Very hop finish. Bit watery in mouth. Like many of Wapping beers, it lacks malt body. Bit tingly and fizzy on end. Finish is good though with great hops. Good beer overall |
| Wapping - Tabley Mild | 3.60 | | Very dark brown. Lovely mild. Lots of bitter coffee and dark choc. Clean in mouth, with some powdery choc/coffee on end. No great fruit, but for flavour, its pretty good |
| Tigertops - Uber Weiss | 4.80 | | Dark beer with smoky banana aroma. Some bubblegum. Good attempt at a dark wheat beer. Bit artificial. Bit muddy. Needs to be cleaner |
| Wapping - Bitter | 3.60 | Not Tried | |
| Wapping - Summer Ale | 4.20 | Not Tried |

Fairly quiet on a Wednesday evening. Now revenerated. Still has a no smoking room with a view over the Albert Dock and Liver Building
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wapping - Summer Ale | 4.20 | | Golden hoppy citrus beer with astringent acids |
| Wapping - Blonde Wheat Beer | 4.00 | | Cloudy wheat beer. Still very lemony but with an interesting body |

Why this pub is not packed every night is a mystery. Wapping Brewery tap serving its well hopped beers at a sensible price. Great interior featuring the Liverpool dock's history. Good range of local beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wapping - Bitter | 3.60 | | So much flavour for such a weak beer. Astringent bitter hops and citrus fruit on this pale yellow session beer |
| Wapping - Golden Promise IPA | 5.50 | | As good as the Wapping Bitter, but more rounded. Still has the bitter hops and citrus fruit. A 5.5% beer for less than £2? Quality |

The pub is found in Liverpool, Merseyside, L1 8DQ.
Flat iron shaped building near Albert Dock. Home of Wapping Brewery and an upstairs restaurant. No smoking room at point of building has wonderful off white leather chairs and a view across the dock and up to the 3 Graces including the Liver Building. Seems to be Liverpool's best kept secret. CAMRA discount for card carrying members.
We have visited this pub 24 times, seen 30 different beers and tried 18 of them.
