31 Jan 2026 (Hogan Sampling)
8th stop of the Horsham outing: Got here just before 6pm with 10 minutes to spare before shutting. Only customer in here unlike every other pub in the vicinity bursting at the seams. Friendly barman told me when it was set up in 2022 and when it pulls its customers in. It opens early on a Saturday for the outside market trade from 10am. An interesting selection of bottled and canned beers on display and two cask on to choose from. Not a lot of seating with a bench and about five bar stools but despite its petite size, it does actually have a bar counter. I found a very welcome seat at last to rest my old weary bones over a Long Man Old Ale!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long Man - Old Man | 4.30 | | Very good head and lacing and lasting well in its transparent plastic beaker on this Old Ale brewed at Litlington* in East Sussex, north-west of Eastbourne, and near the seaside town of Seaford some 3 miles away. A dry bitter first bite. A good dose of dry maltiness with notes of coffee and chocolate rising and a bitter hop or two abseiling downwards care of its Fuggles and Bramling Cross. *The Long Man of Wilmington, also known as the Wilmington Giant, is some 3 miles north-east of Litlington on the steep slopes of Windover Hill. The massive outline of a human figure, 235 feet tall, is holding two long staves or poles. Long Man Brewery has integrated the Long Man of Wilmington figure into nearly every aspect of their design and brand identity and their Old Man Old Ale is a direct nod to the figure. |
