Saturday afternoon and a mix of diners and those watching sports on the television screens. I had not been here before and only came in because it was open on a Saturday unlike many of the pubs around here. A surprisingly good selection of beers and prompt friendly service.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Castle Rock - Elsie Mo | 4.70 | | In good condition, shame about the new pump clip. |
| Timothy Taylor - Landlord | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Wooha - Porter | 5.00 | Not Tried |

|---|---|---|---|
| St Austell - Proper Job | 4.50 | | A good, hoppy pint in excellent condition. |
| Rudgate - Shed 7 Going for Gold | 4.00 | | A golden beer with lots of citrus and mango hop flavours. |
| Marston's - Wychwood Hobgoblin IPA (was Ruby Beer, was Hobgoblin) | 4.50 | Not Tried | |

| Harviestoun - Old Engine Oil | 4.50 | Not Tried |

Not overcrowded on Monday early evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moor - Somerland Gold | 5.00 | | Sold to me as Red Squirrel Hopfest, but they clearly had the pump clips reversed. |

| Windsor & Eton - Knight of the Garter | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

The pub is found in Clerkenwell, Central London, EC1R 0EG.
This pub was present here by the early 18th century and has long been well-known in the area. Nineteenth century notoriety came from the attached Apollo Music Hall and Concert Rooms, whilst Lenin and Stalin are said to have met up for a pint in the back room once in 1905. These days it is better known for its beer and food. There are several rooms at ground and first floor levels, plus an extensive outdoor seating area at the front on Clerkenwell Green.
We have visited this pub 4 times, seen 17 different beers and tried 6 of them.
