Chilly tonight and the shutters are down to make it a bit cosier inside.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Verdant - Planets Don't Twinkle - Galaxy Single Hop DIPA | 8.00 | | From key-keg. Verdant themselves have said that DIPAs are, by definition, unbalanced. Thick and fruity. |

Thursday evening visit.

Sunday evening after the crowds.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pressure Drop - Promenade | 4.80 | | Keg dispense. A Gose (the Gose style is often now a long way removed from what you might be served in Leipzig) flavoured with yuzu, apricot and vanilla. Also contains lactose. Very lovely. It is sweet rather than sour. |
| Verdant - Everyone Was Spinning | 6.60 | | Keg dispense. A full-blown Black IPA. |
19 Jul 2019 (Stephen Harris)

| Verdant - Roy, I Want a Hilox | 5.50 | | A NEIPA from key-keg. Murky fruit mush. Peachy. Has a harder mouthfeel than some and even a hint of bitterness. |

The pub is found in Hackney, Greater London, E8 1DU.
Pressure Drop brewery was established in Stoke Newington in 2012, with the first beer sold in January 2013. The brewery moved to these larger premises in Hackney in Bohemia Place in March 2013. Here, it occupied a large railway arch behind Tesco, in the centre of Hackney. Whilst located here, the brewery had a production capacity of five barrels and produced cask, keg and bottled beers. In 2017, Pressure Drop upsized again to very much larger premises at Tottenham Hale and this railway arch stood unused for a while. In July 2018 it re-opened as The Experiment, a bar set up as a joint venture between Pressure Drop and Verdant Breweries. Closed on 15th July 2023 over failure to agree new lease with the arch owner.
We have visited this pub 20 times, seen 45 different beers and tried 44 of them.
