2310 hours visit 'til close. The bar team were very friendly and clearly working as a coherent team on all their tasks - great to see.

|---|---|---|---|
| Brew Wharf - Bin End Pale | 4.80 | | First rate with full taste and a warming feel. Described by Brew Wharf as ..... Brewed to use up all of the recently opened odd malts and hops left over from the previous few beers...used Maris Otter, Munich, CaraRed & Gold malts along with Columbus and Cascade hops for a thirst quenching biscuit malt based, citrus fruit hinted APA for summer. The barmaid told me there was a hint of pink peppercorn in the brew too but not sure if she was pulling my * as I have never tasted same. Once she said it I felt a warming on the tongue and mouthfeel like a pepper. |
| Marble - Little Evelyn | 7.00 | | A little too much of the American IPA taste. A collaboration with Hawkshead Brewery |

| Magic Rock - Rapture | 4.60 | | Full flavoured but I thought it jaded my taste buds as the pint went down in the glass |

Tap tap - another last knockings visit. Raining heavily outside so all but the hardiest were ensconced in the bar area. I am increasingly convinced this could make a nice 24 hour venue if Network Rail would permit it!!

|---|---|---|---|
| Swannay (formerly Highland) - St Magnus Ale | 5.20 | | There are also entries on site for 4.5% and 5% versions - this was blackboarded as 5.2% and left the lips stinging of hops. My third 5 star at this venue in three days |

Tap tap - last knockings visit although the bar area seemed to get even more crowded after I settled in! Have these people not got homes to go to or is the night just young?
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Redemption - Fellowship Porter | 5.10 | | Consistent with its 5 star performance the previous evening |
| Liverpool Organic - Higsons Best Bitter | 4.10 | | Whether this resembles the original Higgo's I can not recall but it tasted like a traditional bitter |

Sorry only noted 6 of the 8 beers on offer as I became immediately engrossed in conversation with a Yank staying at the Renaissance St Pancras Hotel and who knew the US brewing scene pretty well.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fyne - Jarl | 3.80 | | A citra hop hit. |
| Buxton - Imperial Black | 7.50 | | This is listed as a Black IPA - the Yank said the US claims credit for this new contradiction in terms beer epithet. But, whatever, it gave a hoppy slap around the face! |
| Bristol Beer Factory - Bitter Californian | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Revolutions - Escapale | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Pitfield's - Imperial Chocolate Stout | 7.30 | Not Tried | Ran out just as the Yank and I tried to order one apiece. |

The pub is found in Euston, Central London, NW1 2EF.
Sited in the neo classical lodges at the front of Euston mainline railway station and operated by Bloomsbury Leisure Group. The West Lodge opened initially then the East Lodge opened as a cider bar but was later converted to matching the West Lodge drinks offerings. In each lodge the bar is on the ground floor with more seating and the toilets upstairs via a narrow spiral staircase. In the West Lodge there are 8 cask beers on air pressure and 19 keg taps are fitted on the back wall plus there are fridges of bottled beers on either side of the bar. Owned by the same people as the Sheffield Tap on the station there. No food is prepared here but pizzas may be ordered at the bar and then they are shipped in by a supplier.
We have visited this pub 82 times, seen 307 different beers and tried 106 of them.
