Last knockings visit on a Friday night but range never disappoints.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bristol Beer Factory - Independence | 4.60 | | Chalk board showed ABV as 4.8% and named Dry-Hopped Independence. Good hop taste - drank beer as chaser with Steel City and Arbor Ales (Joint Venture) DCLXVI. |
| Arbor Ales / Steel City Brewing Collaboration - DCLXVI Black IPA | 6.60 | | 666 IBU. 6.66% ABV to be totally accurate. A collaboration between 2 breweries noted for having no fears of packing a hop punch. Drank as a chaser with Bristol Dry-Hopped Independence. Clearly a (Herbert) Pocketful of hops used and retained in taste for most of my journey home. |

After a weekend out in the sticks and an early evening watching the 20:20 cricket in a nearby Shepherd Neame pub, my hop levels were running dangerously low. This was the place to top up. Not too busy mid-evening on a Monday.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liverpool Organic - Imperial Russian Stout | 7.90 | | Oh wow! Creamy, roasted, strong, an everlasting bitter aftertaste, thick, liquorice. Lovely. |
| Bristol Beer Factory - Indulgence | 4.60 | | A very heavily-hopped, amber bitter. Manages to maintain a good balance despite the fierce hop rates. |
| Marble - Lagonda Trial 7 | 5.00 | | Not sure what all this ‘Trial 7’ stuff is. But this was a wonderfully hop-headed, pale IPA-style beer. |

This tiny pub was full to bursting and beyond at 7pm. I’ve missed their IPA Festival by four days – never mind, there is still an excellent beer range with treats way beyond my capacity.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fyne - Vital Spark | 4.40 | | Described on the pub blackboard as a Red Ale, but drinks more like a dark, fruity bitter. Very deep red in colour, rich and fruity, with a dry finish. |
| Arbor Ales - Nibiru | 6.30 | | Another glass of single hoppiness from Arbor. Golden in colour, with resiny hops. A strong, sticky, sippin’ beer that I took so long over that the entire clientele of the pub had changed over by the time I finished my pint. |
| Swannay (formerly Highland) - Orkney Blast | 6.00 | | Golden / amber in colour, with a thick mouthfeel and obvious high alcohol. Quite sweet and malty with a bitter hop finish. I’m afraid I didn’t much care for this one. |
| Bristol Beer Factory - Stout | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Fyne - Hurricane Jack | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Bristol Beer Factory - Southville Hop | 6.50 | Not Tried | |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Northcote - Euston Tap One For the Road | 5.00 | | One of the final brews at Northcote before closure, this was brewed by one of the Euston Tap's staff using locally grown hops which give the beer a distinct smokey flavour without the use of smoked malt. My score 15/20. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - 80/- | 4.60 | | Reddish bitter with a dry, bitter flavour. Some hoppiness and a dry, malty finish. My score 14/20. |

What a small and quirky place this is. I like it. I can imagine it has a good atmosphere when it's heaving. There also appears to be a seating area up a steep spiral staircase. There appears to be a good bottled selection if you're into that and 8 beers on cask.

Busy on Saturday night even at 22.30 with beer drinkers and train travellers from Euston.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marble - JP Best | 4.30 | | Typical Marble hoppy really drinkable bitter. Even at the end of a long day, this stood out as a good quaffing session pint. |

Just two people in early doors on a Saturday lunchtime, but got busier as I was leaving.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bristol Beer Factory - Bristol Ultimate Stout | 7.30 | | Very strong tasting black stout with a real alcholic kick. Quite roasty with a full bodied vineous taste. My score 16/20. |
| Riverhead - Marsden Merrymaker | 6.50 | | Amber beer with a predominantly sweet taste, lots of malt and an almost sticky texture. Strong fruity, vineous finish. My score 16/20. |

On my way to somewhere so stopped for my favourite the Bernard unfiltered lager. And for a couple of other beers before catching my train
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Alliance | 10.30 | | Raisins and sultanas. Touch of butter. Smooth as hell. Bit of a warming kick but not syrupy. Beautiful beer. |
| Bristol Beer Factory - Stout | 4.00 | | Black with dark brown edges. Thick cream head. Lovelychoccy stout. Great body and the roast choc is lovely. Just a touch of cardboard on the flavour. Good though. More than good. |

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.
