Pre-match drink at a very crowded clubhouse.
Hackney - Kapow! | 4.50 | | Superb, fresh, juicy APA-style. |

07 Feb 2017 (Stephen Harris)
Early evening visit before a match at Brisbane Road. Although the fixture drew Leyton Orient’s smallest league attendance for 25 years, it still became very busy in here.

04 Feb 2017 (Stephen Harris)
The O’s lost again today – that’s five in a row now – yet the atmosphere in here after the game was surprisingly upbeat.
Wild Beer Co. - Bibble | 4.20 | | I always enjoy this one. |
Brew Buddies - Black Hole Porter | 5.20 | | An excellent, full-bodied Porter. |
Brew Buddies - Waimea Single Hop Pale | 4.60 | | A good, full-flavoured, single-hop beer. |

31 Dec 2016 (Stephen Harris)
Post-match visit. It is buzzing in here after a dramatic match in front of a big crowd. Limited drinking time as the bar is closing early to let the volunteers get home. Not much beer left by the time I went up to the bar for a second.
Brew Buddies - Wokka | 4.80 | | Poured from a can. A quality, pale, hoppily-fruity American Pale Ale. |

26 Dec 2016 (Stephen Harris)
Open at 11 and again briefly after today’s match – to accommodate the odd kick-off time and to allow people to get home on a day of transport difficulties. As usual, I failed to win the Christmas Jumper competition (primarily because I wasn't wearing one).
Mighty Oak - Yellow Snow | 3.80 | | A typically good, hoppy, pale, Mighty Oak beer. |
Mighty Oak - Wonky Donkey | 4.30 | | Very pale in colour. A part-wheat brew. |

23 Dec 2016 (Stephen Harris)
The annual celebration of Mighty Oak Brewery beers here at the O’s Club and the usual big crowd is in attendance, despite warnings of stormy weather (it turns out to be a rather feeble and short-lived storm).
CTZN (formerly Kew) - Dahlia Black IPA | 5.20 | | Poured from a bottle. My pick of this-evening’s beers (and it turned out to be the last bottle in stock). An excellent Black IPA. |
Mighty Oak - Santa's Secret | 4.00 | | An amber Bitter with good hop flavours. |
Mighty Oak - Saxon Strong | 6.50 | | A sweetish, strong Bitter. |
Mighty Oak - Pixie | 3.60 | | A fruitily-hopped Blonde. |
Mighty Oak - Making Merry | 4.50 | | A middle-of-the-road Golden Ale. |

Five Points - Brick Field Brown | 5.40 | | A very good Brown Ale. |
One Mile End Brew Co. (formerly Mulligans at the White Hart and then WH Brew Pub) - Great Tom Mild (or Great Tom Winter Mild) | 3.80 | | A dry, roasty and well-hopped Mild. |
Brew York - Malt the Otter | 3.80 | | A regular Bitter, and not bad at all. |
