Not seen this one yet, but hope I might do so when I visit Fuller's new Brentford pub "One Over The Ait" on Friday. Presumably named after "Oliver's Eyot", an island in the river between Kew and Strand on the Green?Originally Posted by rpadam

Had it on Saturday at the Admiralty a new Fullers pub in central London.- superb
Had my pint at the same place - nice pub, shame about the beer...
The beer or pub?

The beer.Thought it was one of Fullers better beers but accept others may think different.
Not tried this one yet ,but thought their Wild River when it came out was very good.

Adnam's Old Ale
I tried a pint of this over a year ago and I assumed that they had put on Broadside by mistake. I tried it again this week and once more it tasted like Broadside so I can only assume that it is now made by watering down the Broadside mash before fermenting. This certainly wasn't the case around thirty years ago.
Think I'd agree with you, though I haven't tried it this Autumn yet.On a positive note, Harveys Sussex XXX Old Ale seems as good as ever,albeit with keen competition from their upstart neighbours at Long Man.
"At that moment I would have given a kingdom, not for champagne or hock and soda, or hot coffee but for a glass of beer" Marquess Curzon of Kedlestone, Viceroy of India.
I wouldn't dispute that at all. The Old Man from the Long Man brewery has an astonishing OG of 1048 for a 4.3% ABV beer.
The trouble is that Broadside is the only Adnam's beer that I don't really like, so now there are two!
Nothing wrong with beer, popped into The Bird In Hand
But the Christmas Havant brewery special had run out, will attempt later in the week
New brew on today for winter. No name as yet, but is a dark brown 4.3 ish with a sous on of whisky & ginger. Thinking "welcome back Mac" ?
I drink to make others more interesting
