Beer?

Leadenhall Market? That's just round the corner from my office. The first (only) time I was taken there by a reinsurance broker my colleague and I turned up for a pre-arranged lunch at 12:30 to discover he was already 3/4 of the way down the first bottle.

No...Bow Lane,....Not cheap so luckily I wasn't paying

I mean, throw a phrase like that into your review.

Ah gotcha. I did wonder wtf you were doing with the beer you bought (twice).

Euston Tap. Never the most atmospheric of places, there's nothing wildly exciting on tap.

Cherry Gose from Howling Hops. Not bad. Expected a bit more cherry, but it's decently salty.

I was invited to a 'do' in London tonight but couldn't go as I'm stranded in the NW, I'd rather be in the Euston Tap...

My spider senses were tingling.

That sounds like a great name for a craft beer!

Broken Dream from Siren on cask. Most excellent!!

Chocolate, coffee, a bit toasty and a super silky finish.

Copper topped tables.

Old school! Nice

Does it have tiny velvet covered stools to sit on too?

You can't beat Northern Monk. Go to the refectory in Leeds, thank me later.

This is the beer thread. The lager thread is *shudder* elsewhere.

On the left, the ESB I drank between Surbiton and Clandon. On the right the Old Peculier I am drinking now. The Brooks Moorgate briefcase is not only a stylish and useful bag that is "compatible with common British folding bike rack clips designed for attachment to the front of the bike" it also includes "a four-way stretch outer side pocket for carrying a bottle or thermos on the side". As my photo illustrates this four-way stretch outer side pocket is perfectly proportioned for a 500ml glass bottle containing the sort of bottled beverage one might pick up at a railway station.

The last ESB I had was a rather butch and hop-heavy cask beer. This bottled version has subdued hop. It's so long since I had an Old Pec from the cask that I can't begin to compare it.
