Boak and Bailey's Beer Blog - Confusing name, underwhelming pub
Visit the Boak and Bailey's Beer Blog site
You could be forgiven for thinking that Shaw’s Booksellers, in the City of London, not far from St Paul’s Cathedral, is a booksellers.
The confusing name (which came with the premises) nonetheless conceals a pleasant enough pub.
Fuller’s have tailored this for the City crowd. so there’s a nod to real ale (two pumps, Pride and Discovery); lots of exotic-sounding but unexciting kegs (Blue Moon, Erdinger Weiss); Belgian and German bottles, but nothing you can’t get in Tesco; and ‘chilled beats’ straight out of 2002.
We tried Blue Moon, a controversial pretend craft beer from Molson Coors, and found it reminiscent of Kronenbourg Blanc, though less offensive — a bit sweet, a bit cloudy, not much hop flavour and an odd artificial lemoniness in their place. Not a candidate for beer of the week.
We’re no nearer yet to finding a perfect pub in the City of London, but we are working our way through them, one by one.
