36. The Duke Wellington, Toynbee Street.
Beers:
Well's Bombardier - brownish, spiky start, smooth body and finish.
St. Austell Brewery Spring Fever - light and bouncy, slightly fizzy, sweetness, fluffy
35. The White Hart, Whitechapel High Street.
The second White Hart of the evening. This one less interesting but a worthy drinkery for sure. Spacious bar, sport on TV and good ale. Decoration enough on the walls. Generally appealing.
Beers:
Sharp's Atlantic - sweet and tangy, bit of a hill, cloudy, lovely stuff.
Hogsback Brewery T.E.A. - dark red, heady, smooth, mild, slight liquorice flavour, rides nicely on the tongue.
Quite a hole in the wall. A slither of a pub. Well attended and a wonderful collection of wall art and trinkets of many kinds behind the bar.
Beers:
Dark Star Brewery Six Hop - dark amber, sweet smell, very sweet, sharp bitter beginning with a hoppy, fizzy finish.
Thornbridge Galaxia - very pale, sweet smell, spacey, inoffensive, fruity, light.
33. The Blind Beggar, Whitechapel Road.
The very pub that notorious gang leaders the Cray twins shot a rival gang member. Cuttings and photos on the walls tell a brief tale of how it unfolded. Perhaps an undesired reputation but quite significant. The modern Blind Beggar is quite trendy, has pub games, a quite out of place water feature in the beer garden and a pub moggy.
Beers:
Jenning's Brewery The Beggers Belief - full start, like an unfinished story, no ending, pale amber, flavour is fine.
Sharp's Doom Bar - brown, heady, incredibly mild, slightly heavy.
Sweet open and wooden pillared pub with fantastic old leather-bound and brass buttoned chairs and old barrels used for tables outside. High ceilings allowing for large windows for plenty of light. A pleasing environment. Barmaid thoroughly unimpressed with odyssey antics.
Beers:
First Chop Brewing Arm Syl - stouty, very bitter, heavy, dark, lingers for ages.
First Chop Brewing Arm Extra Love - light orange amber, bitter but gives way to the mango sweetness.
