Very much as HSB described in 2014 but without the range of beers.

Quiet in the early evening, although brewing was in progress. Disappointing to find no Lamb Brewery beers on cask. I only had time for a quick half, so opted to try one of the keg home-brews (three to chose from), rather than one of the range of cask guest beers.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Lamb - Hefeweizen5.50AcceptableOn keg dispense. Very cloudy; a murky orange colour. Heavily carbonated and rather bitter for the style.

Fairly busy on a Saturday lunchtime.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Lamb - Lamb Dark Ale4.20GoodDark as in amber not pale, this beer is malty rather than hoppy with sweetish biscuity notes and some fruity hop in the finish. My score 15/20
Shepherd Neame - Spooks Ale4.70AcceptableReddish brown beer dominated by crystal malt giving a rather cloying bittersweet flavour. Hint of fruit in the finish. My score 14/20.

I’ve been a bit slow off the mark visiting what is, I think, still London’s newest brewery (unless Brüpond are now in production?). Smart pub, with pretty good beer on this experience.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Lamb - Imperial Stout4.70ExcellentBlack, smooth, full-bodied stout with a bit of roastiness and a bit of liquorice.
Lamb - Lamb Ale4.20GoodA good, chestnut-coloured, malty, best bitter.

The pub is found in Chiswick, Greater London, W4 4PH.

This pub in Barley Mow Passage is long-established under the name Barley Mow, and is believed historically to have been tied to Sich & Co's Lamb Brewery of Chiswick – which closed in 1922. In the same ownership as the Botanist at Kew, it became the second pub in that group to install an in-house brewery. The brewery opened in September 2012 and at the same time the pub took on the name of the old (and new) brewery. It is large, with a garden at the front, the brewery was visible within the pub and extensive seating and dining areas. Towards the end of 2013 the pub was taken over by M&B and the brewery closed and the equipment was subsequently removed.

We have visited this pub 5 times, seen 19 different beers and tried 7 of them.
