Visits Details
30 Apr 2018 (Philip Pirrip)
Mid evening visit. Clearly less emphasis on cask here with only 3 of the 8 handpumps in use. Presume Hop Stuff here believes its future lies in fizz beer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wylam - Galatia | 3.90 | | At £5.10 I expect perfection not a hazy tired beer which this was. No mention of being unfined on the pumpclip so assume must be offish. A chore to drink then took the opportunity to skedaddle |
| Hop Stuff - Fusilier | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Hop Stuff - Single Hop Cascade + Lemongrass | 3.60 | Not Tried | Clip did not mention it but the menu blackboard said Hop Stuff / Charles Wells so not sure what is going on with this one |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew York - Jarsa | 3.70 | | Brew York is producing some great beers |
| Hop Stuff - Single Hop Azacca | 3.80 | | Staff confirmed that this is unfined, very hazy |

| Hop Stuff - Fusilier | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Hop Stuff - Oatmeal Stout | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| Hop Stuff - Mjango Unchained | 4.50 | Not Tried | A taster was most disappointing with a seeming lack of any mango flavour in a mango beer |

Very nice here in the late afternoon, after a southwards voyage on the Free Ferry.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hop Stuff - Earl Grey Pale | 3.50 | | A bit cold and well-carbonated from some form of keggery. But a great tea smell and lovely Earl Grey flavours. Give me a tea-flavoured beer over a coffee one any day. |
| Hop Stuff - San Agustín Porter | 6.70 | | A black beer with a very rich taste. Toasted malt and (unexpectedly) black cherry. |
| Hop Stuff - Fusilier | 4.30 | | A really satisfying pint after long riverside walking. |

The pub is found in Woolwich, Greater London, SE18 6GD.
Opened on 22nd October 2015 in the Woolwich Arsenal development in Major Draper Street at the end of a terrace next to the Tesco Express. Down the alley to the right of the Dial Arch pub then turn right. Downstairs is a low ceilinged bar with bare brick walls, uncovered ventilation ducting and a long bar with initially 8 handpumps but now only 4. Up a spiral staircase for extra seating and a dining area selling pizza based comestibles. Effectively the tap for the nearby Hop Stuff Brewery which eventually only produced keg beers. No longer sells cask ale. Subsequently taken over by Molson Coors when Hop Stuff went awry and now sold to Salt of Yorkshire in November 2021. January 2022 and 2 handpumps are in use.
We have visited this pub 13 times, seen 43 different beers and tried 17 of them.
