Mid afternoon and a handful of people in. There were 6 hand pumps on in total, I didn't note them all. Nice pub, one to visit again when down this way.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Siren Craft - Sound Wave | 5.60 | | Me and daughter both agreed it was exceptional. Hoppy madness. |
| Dark Star - Espresso Stout | 4.20 | | Bordering on the exceptional too. Lots of coffee of course, but easy drinking. |

The pub is found in Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 3FG.
Located in Upper North Street on the corner of Regent Hill. 9 handpumps sported in this quite small intimate one bar house. It has a raised area in one corner and this now leads to an upstairs lounge which was added in 2014. Opened in summer 2012 as the first out of London Craft Beer Company house. Major refurbishment in 2018 added multiple sports TV screens. Temporarily closed in January 2023.
We have visited this pub 10 times, seen 57 different beers and tried 12 of them.
