For this week's Friday's Pint I did something I rarely do, something that I knew I would have to do eventually. I ventured out to a non local pub on a Saturday night.
I'm fully aware that when I'm on the 11-11 shift (which usually finishes at around 9:30pm on a Friday) my choices of venue for The Friday Pint will be rather limited. As a result, I find myself catching tube trains to selected venues. This week was the turn of Tap East, situated in Westfieldm Stratford. It wasn't as busy as I expected, yet I still wasn't able to get myself a table and enjoy my pint as I'd have liked to.
The Pint (or rather pints) in question this week, were O8 and Motley Brew. These are both beers that I have had before, but that is the reason I travelled out to Stratford this evening. It was more for the now retired O8 than the Motely Brew.
That being said, the O8 was slightly disappointing. It has tasted a lot better for me, as has the Motley Brew. After a rather busy (and deceptively long) day at work, they were much enjoyed.
These two pints are merely the beginning of a beer filled weekend. Tomorrow I'm off to Camden Brewery to try US Hells, and Sunday will see me returning to Birmingham for the Anchor's Church End Brewery festival.
Expect a summary from me on Monday.
