I find myself in Stratford on a school night on a short work excursion. There’s only one thing for it, pizza and beer.
After perusing the menu of two beers I settle for the no logo pale ale. A novel label which should keep the production overheads to a minimum.
I’m drinking from the bottle but if I am to do this beer any justice I suppose I should at least pour some more into a glass. Best neck the Peckham spring water to make way for some of the olde amber nectar. A simple no frills beer with a good colour with a slightly lively hoppy taste. I’m no expert by the way, but it sounds pretty good.
The beer is a craft pale ale 4% and is a Shepherd Neame beer from Kent. Not quite the Italian origins I had expected but it tastes bloody good with pizza!
Brewer’s facts:
