28 Dec 2024 (Hogan Sampling)
Time for a curry to soak up those beers earlier and my first visit to this rabbit-warren of a Spoons' pub which was bustling. One in our party kindly saved the rest of us a seat whilst we placed our orders and chose our beers.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Mad Squirrel (formerly Red Squirrel) - Evolve4.10GoodGood head and lacing on this Hemel Hempstead-based bitter. A very creamy head minus the usual lacing. A bitter mouthfeel and lingering and thankfully not sweet and which aided washing down the curry.

Typical Wetherspoon make-over of previous pub! North end of High Street. Small front pavement patio seating area. 10 handpumps in 2 banks, each of 5. Large L-shaped seating area - much larger than one imagines upon entering.

We have visited this pub 38 times, seen 125 different beers and tried 40 of them.
