09 May 2014 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening. A venue for our Friday Evening Group. Friendly, rather masculine pub environment which is obviously enthusiastic about its real ale. Now a regular outlet for the local Hope brewery which opened in late 2013.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hope - Dragon Fire Chilli Beer | 4.20 | | In a polypin on back counter. Flat but barman said it had been supplied bright after being in full cask at a recent festival |
| Holt's (see also Joseph Holt) - Two Hoots | 4.20 | | Mine was as flat as a pancake |
| Crouch Vale - Blackwater Mild | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
| Mauldons - Lemon Adder | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Cottage - Atlantic | 4.00 | Not Tried |

Early evening. Bar and smoking area fairly full with blokes drinking pints. That said, service was excellent.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| B&T (Banks & Taylor's) - Shefford DG Dunstable Giant | 4.40 | | |
| Jennings (since closure now brewed at Marston's) - Lakeland Stunner | 3.90 | | In good condition but I think they must have forgotten the citrusy hops mentioned on the pump clip. |
| Tring - Bring Me Sunshine | 4.20 | | |
| Theakston - Cresset Ale | 4.00 | | |
| Greene King - IPA Gold | 4.10 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Stanford-le-Hope, Essex, SS17 0EU.
A traditional, two-roomed pub, five minutes' walk from the railway station and next door to St Margaret’s church. A good supporter of Essex breweries. 5 handpumps in the left hand bar plus a cider (or maybe two) in a box on the back counter. Since early 2014 has been an outlet for the new local Hope brewery. The best real ale boozer in Stanford-le-Hope and in the 2014 CAMRA Good Beer Guide. Real ale price discount for card carrying CAMRA members.
We have visited this pub 6 times, seen 27 different beers and tried 14 of them.
