    Went out last night and most of the beers were very good Had 2 bottled beers from a new London brewery Leftbank at a pop-up pub in E17. Very good beers. Sometimes the simple beers are the best.
    360 Degrees-pale ale 3.9 was a corker and Botw

    B.F, if you haven't already tried The Old Red Lion , next door to Mansion House , I can recommend it, a very nice pub (Antic) with good beer.

    That's a good point,I was planning a quick visit next door to check out the ale line up and if by any chance Oakham fails to deliver ,we can carry on in the Old Red Lion.

    Apart from two and one of them was a Cottage beer it's all Spoons fest ales this week.

    Banks's Mild 3.5%*
    JW Lees John Willie's 100 4.2%
    Bateman's Colonel's Whiskers 4.3%*
    Cottage Victory 4.5%
    Moorhouse's Black Cat Reserve 4.5%
    Hook Norton Chinook Gold 4.7%
    Oakham Great Gustav 4.8%*
    Everard's Tiger Triple Gold 5.0%
    Mordue Americana 5.0%*
    Wadworth 10 Barrel OG IPA 5.0%*
    Adnam's Sixpoint Brooklyn Bitter 5.5%*
    Caledonian Trojan Horse 5.5%
    Woodforde's Phoenix IPA 5.5%*
    Bateman's Wicked Weed Freak Of Nature 7.5%*

    It's a difficult choice here so I'll apply my rule of thumb when dithering over what to order, "when in doubt go for the strongest" Bateman's Wicked Weed Freak Of Nature. It was better for just £1.99 in the Chingford King's Ford than the N7 Coronet where I got charged £2.55 and then £3.30. I think I'll give the Islington area of London a complete miss from now on.
    It's a Double American IPA with which Bateman's have done a fair job.
