A late nightcap. It has been busy in here and they are down to just two cask beers.

Really just a late-evening comfort break whilst changing buses.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Sharp's - Manu Bay4.40ExcellentAn unsubtle (I like unsubtle sometimes), golden beer with an interesting hop profile. Good to see Sharp’s still have it within them to brew beyond the bland parameters of mass market stuff.

An early evening visit and the pub is filling rapidly ahead of a football fixture at Brisbane Road this-evening.

Early evening after football at Brisbane Road. It is clear that they have had a busy day in here.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Volden - Spring4.50PoorI didn’t like this. Couldn’t work out whether it was poorly brewed or in bad condition. Perhaps both.

Evening visit with a group of friends after watching the Orient v Ebbsfleet game at Brisbane Road.
BeerABVScoreNotes
East London (ELB) - Quadruped Black APA5.30ExcellentA Black IPA/APA/Cascadian Dark; I’m getting confused over beer pigeon-holing just now. Whatever it’s called, I like it a lot and had a couple.

Mid-evening – mainly just to say hello to a group of friends who are always here on Tuesday evenings.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Signature Brew - Wild Winter7.30ExcellentI’ve deciphered the small print – this strong Winter Ale is spiced with cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, cloves and allspice.

Early evening visit. The football crowds have mostly moved on, but they haven’t left much beer.

Website.

The pub is found in Leyton, Greater London, E10 5OJ.

In High Road, initially this pub existed as a short-term ‘Pop-Up’ pub, open for the duration of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Then closed for nearly a year, it re-opened on a permanent basis in August 2013. The pub is housed in part of the former Leyton Town Hall. It has several different rooms in which to drink, and the toilets are housed deep in the dungeons. The interior of the pub is now very much more homely and comfortable than it appears in my early photo on this site from its pop-up days. Reclaimed by landlord and closed on October 2022, after alleged non-payment of rent. Re-opened under operation of Remarkable Pubs with a change of name in September 2024.

We have visited this pub 125 times, seen 256 different beers and tried 139 of them.
