bryangb, they certainly seem to now. Last time I was there a couple of years ago I don't think they did. The photo was taken in what they call the Real Ale Bar, a tiny room on the corner. It's quite nice in there. The rest of the pub isn't great, but that room certainly is. And the Porter was inwonderful condition.
Hm, I was wondering about trying to blag an invite to the XX launch. I was at the brewery last week, they told us XX was coming but didn't have any for us to try!
No Mild. No Burton. Lame.
ReplyDeletePark Street, Porter. Proper London-style Porter. On Park Street. On Park Street.
ReplyDeleteThat's a dream for me.
Fantastic! Is that the Pig's Ear Festival Bethnal Green?
ReplyDeleteWhat was the porter like?

Gary, even better: the Anchor, the former Barclay Perkins brewery tap.
ReplyDeleteThe Anchor doing a full range of Fullers ales?? I thought it was owned by some pubco now?
ReplyDeleteI lived there (well, in the manager's house at the back) when I moved back to London 25 years ago. It was a pretty crap place to drink back then.

ReplyDeleteBarm, I'll be drinking a Fuller's Burton tonight. It's the XXK release.

ReplyDeletebryangb, even I haven't tasted it yet. Well, I did have a sip of the wort as it came out of the mash tun.
ReplyDeleteDerek Prentice did mention your name in connection with it...
