Are you bringing the glasses back for homeland security, threestarsmcginty? I hope so! Look at all those guns pointing at you from the hedge too!

New brew. An American style wheat ale, single hopped with Amarillo. Smells lovely!

Picture One: Nice 'butt'! Are they bagels-a-hangin' from the ceiling, pardner?
Picture Two: I see the crowds are flocking to see the world plywood champion at play. Metal stools?

Well, according to Pierre-Joseph Proudhon "property is theft". This place, therefore has been stolen from the drunken populous of Kentish Town, when it went by the name of O'Reilly's.
Previous to that, it took its place on Kentish Town Road as 'The Star & Garter...then 'The Old Farm House'.
Anyway, Camden's Daughter is open for business, and I too stole some time to pop in for a quick half...
And then I could relax for the second half...
Nice beer actually. I fancied an 'Ink' Stout, but it was lacking (about 2% ABV) compared to the India Hells Lager which I chose. Apparently it is an IPA with a pilsner injection. I only saw it as 6.2% and the taste buds said "want".
£4.40 a pint, and served by a member of staff who looks remarkably like my friend Hana Piranha (look her up if you think you're hard enough
)
So, first scent was cleansing, stronger than Punk and pleasant. Taste is equally good and allows for a good draught to be taken and savoured. Bit dry afterwards though.
I decided to do a bit of office work whilst there, and the beer mats came in handy to remind me where my priorities lay...
In the best traditions of the News of the World, I made an excuse and left...but I did really fancy a pint of the Ink..but, alas, my moving pen, having writ, moved on.
Nice place. Spacious and a good watering hole in the making.
Site-specific glass too...if only it were Dickyboy, Dich p, dhreeconsonantsmcginty, Dlaud, Doss Commuter etc...I could get you a personalised vessel!

Well, that beermat did me good! Early away (with the relevant inspiration) to 'work from home'.
I even managed to do a bit of skip-hopping and retrieved some nice typography - the shop below me is being refurbed...
As an added extra, I thought I would keep Rich's Camden glass of yesterday company, and also try and get a comparative scent of a benchmark Hip Hop IPA. Much lighter on the nez (probably on the wallet too - we'll see.)
OK - work now. ("Yeah, right...")

Western APA (Slaters, 4.9% abv, bottle conditioned)
One purchased at the NantwichBeer and Cheese Food and Drink Festival this year. Bottle conditioned, and rather lively, so have a glass on hand when you open, and beware of a @Crackle -esque degree of froth.
This is very heavily hopped, and quite powerfully bitter. It starts out piney, and finishes grapefruity - I thought it was pretty tasty, if not terribly complex.
Mrs M says: "Very nice."
The youngest M says: "It smells like dishwashing liquid. It tastes like... like... like something weird."

No. He would have had the Brighton Rock veggie version 'Cauli Kibbeh'.
Perfect photo, threestopsmcginty. 10/10 Plus ça change...once upon a time it was 50 shades of grey...
