Post-match drink. Lots of happy, smiley faces and a huge volume of beer being drunk.
| Magic Rock - Rapture | 4.60 |  | Poured from a can once all of the cask beer had run out. A very decent Red IPA. |

Time for a couple of pints with friends ahead of tonight’s pre-season friendly match against Arsenal. Additional beers were available, but I didn’t take many notes.

Pre-match drink at a very crowded clubhouse.
| Hackney - Kapow! | 4.50 |  | Superb, fresh, juicy APA-style. |
| 40FT - #AlesNotDead | 4.50 |  | Copper-coloured traditional Bitter. A rare outing in cask for 40FT. |

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. |
| Grafton - Golden Egg | 3.60 |  | Disappointing. A rather insipid Golden Ale. |

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. |
| Mighty Oak - Captain Bob | 3.80 |  | A celebratory pint, quickly downed. |

| Mighty Oak - Oscar Wilde Mild | 3.70 | Not Tried | |

| Mighty Oak - Kings (was 3.9% before 2013) | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
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. |
| Mighty Oak - Oscar Wilde Mild | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
| Mighty Oak - Elfin Safety | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
| Mighty Oak - Santa's Secret | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
