Along with everyone else I am staring out of the windows at the awesome rainfall.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hobsons - Mosaic and Citra (collaboration with Brew By Numbers) | 4.20 | | Hazy, light and hoppy. The now-classic, fruity, Citra and Mosaic hop mix. |
| Dry & Bitter - Panther People | 5.20 | | From keg. Both dry and bitter as it happens. Quite resinous too. |
| Redemption - Hopspur | 4.50 | Not Tried | |

A quiet Tuesday evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rooster's - Highway 51 (or Highway Fifty-One) | 3.70 | | Golden. A nicely crisp Pale Ale with citrusy hop flavours. |
| Cloudwater - French 75 Slushie | 7.50 | | From a key-keg. Cloudy gold. A very unusual Brut IPA/Sour Beer blend. |
| Tiny Rebel - Juicy | 4.80 | | A hazy gold beer with fruity hops. |
| Tiny Rebel - Cwtch | 4.60 | Not Tried |

Mid afternoon visit we were the only customers until another chap arrived shortly after.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gloucester - Session IPA | 4.50 | | Slightly smoky but rather on the thin side |
| Gloucester - Gold | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
| One Mile End Brew Co. (formerly Mulligans at the White Hart and then WH Brew Pub) - Docker's Delight Bitter | 4.20 | Not Tried |

I had planned a visit to the nearby Carpenters Arms, but that pub is closed tonight as it is being used as a film set. Came here instead.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moor - So'Hop | 4.10 | | A great beer featuring New Zealand hops and on very fine form tonight. |
| Magic Rock - Bravado | 4.10 | | From key-keg. Hazy gold. Juicy. Floral hops. |
| Rooster's - Alternative Facts | 6.50 | | I misread the beer list and thought this was a collaboration brew with Okell’s and my taste buds prepared themselves accordingly. It turns out though that the collaborators are the much more exotic Odell, and this is a typically fierce US West Coast style IPA. |
| Purity - Mad Goose | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Ilkley - Mary Jane | 3.50 | Not Tried |

Monday evening and nice and peaceful in here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wylam - In Every Dream Home a Heartache | 6.00 | | The full murk. Juicy juicy. Bags of hops and a touch of sour. Superb. |
| Cloudwater - Baltic Porter | 7.20 | | From a keg of some kind and another exceptional beer. Heavy, black and mellow. |
| Howling Hops (Brewed at Hackney Wick) - Pale Ale No. 2 | 3.80 | | Merely hazy gold (rather than murk) from cask. Tropical fruit and piney hop flavours. |
| Wild Beer Co. - Millionaire | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Five Points - Best Bitter (collaboration with Lost and Grounded) | 4.80 | Not Tried |

Mid-evening visit. Pub very busy.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Howling Hops (Brewed at Hackney Wick) - Chocolate Stout | 5.00 | | Cask conditioning enhances the smoothness and richness of this lovely beer. Badged here as 5.2%. |
| Fourpure - No Coast IPA | 6.50 | | Key-keg. A great, fresh, murky IPA. |
| Dark Star - Festival | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Siren Craft - Under Current | 4.50 | Not Tried |

Mid-evening and busy. I noticed that all of the people I had seen earlier at Kill the Cat were now in here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garage Beer Co. (Barcelona) - Soup IPA | 6.00 | | Soup of the Day sir? Barcelona murky. Fresh and hoppy from some sort of keg. |
| Howling Hops (Brewed at Hackney Wick) - Pale Ale Custom Deluxe No. 1 | 3.80 | | It’s really good to see the Howling Hops beers out and about in cask. This is a fab, hoppy beer using Citra, Simcoe and Mosaic. My second big hit of Mosaic tonight. |
| Redemption - Pale Ale | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Redemption - Urban Dusk | 4.60 | Not Tried |

Pub number seven of a friend's birthday pub tour. We found seats and relaxed with our beers. Craft Keg fans can enjoy Arizona Wilderness Santa Teresa Enkel for just £12 per pint but our group all opted for cask.

Unexpectedly busy on a Tuesday night. A group had reserved a table in the back room next to where I was sat, came in and looked at the table and decided they would rather sit outside – so they walked away leaving the reserved sign on the table. In my view, that kind of behaviour should be illegal.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lagunitas - Born Again Yesterday (2017) | 7.00 | | From keg dispense. My first Green Hop beer of the new season and if I taste a better one this year I will be pleasantly surprised. A fantastic smack in the face of fresh hops. |
| Siren Craft - Liquid Mistress Red IPA | 5.80 | | I find it almost impossible to resist this great Red Ale. |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Hopton | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Siren Craft - Broken Dream Breakfast Stout (superseded by 6.5% version) | 6.00 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Bethnal Green, Greater London, E2 6EY.
This back-street, corner pub was present off Bethnal Green Road by 1832. Historically a Courage Brewery pub, it had become a free house by the 2000s and survived as a basic, no-frills, keg-only boozer until 2013. Substantially renovated, the pub re-opened in December 2013 as a convert to all things micro- and craft in the beer world. A sister pub to the Earl of Essex in Islington.
We have visited this pub 25 times, seen 103 different beers and tried 56 of them.
