I must admit didnt spot that one I just made a bee-line to the London Fields Hackney Hopster.

Good choice.I was given three bottles of their early prototype beers. they were rubbish but now i look out for their beers as they are usually very good.

Head brewer used to work at Oakham and Fyne breweries so the beer should be good.Thought i drank Lacons in Great Yarmouth in 1973 but the brewery closed in 68. strange ?

I definitely drank in an ex-Lacon's pub-the Falcon on Norwich in 1972-3.Whitbread's of course, but there seemed to be a lot of regional variation in "Trophy" .I can't remember where "Lacon's " Trophy was brewed ,but it was not the same as that in Kent-"Fremlin's "of blessed memory.
Some good beer in East Anglia now.

As I remember it most of the southern breweries under the Whitbread "umbrella" brewed their own version of Trophy, I believe Wethereds and Brickwoods were the exceptions, maybe Flowers as well. Was Luton brewing cask beers in 1972-3? That may have been the source for East Anglia.
