Fair enough, it just seems so much stronger than Harveys.

I am going into Brighton tomorrow, got to go to o2 shop to see if I can get a roaming sim card to get broadband in Portugal on my dongle and while in Brighton might go and try some Hophead where stocks it in central Bighton.

Evening Star, Surrey Street just down from the station
Walk in, order a pint and tell the landlord you've popped down to Brighton so a man can sort out your dongle. Good luck BG.

I will make sure I am sitting down at the time
The Quadrant is probably easiest if you're heading to Churchill Square.

I will try that as I used to do the stocktaking there in the 80s when it was owned by Lion Taverns which in turn was owned by Maxwell Josephs ex wife. They also owned The Walmer Cstle. Tha Alhambra Bar on the seafront and a gay pub is it The Sillcott off Western Rd just past Preston St.

Better pint in the Star as it's run by the Brewery

There really are some pompous drink snobs around.
Why if one person enjoys a particular drink do some have to be so condescending.
C'mon what else are you snobby about, or is it just other peoples choice of tipple ?
Perhaps those with such strong opinions should give us all a guide as to what beverages the drinks police think we should avoid to stop us being inferior drinkers !
Disagree. They both keep their ales very well but the Evening Star always stinks of urine.

you do seem to enjoy any chance of knocking Dark Star.
Anyone would think you were obsessed by Harveys....
Crikey, it's not a competition, surely people can just be happy we're getting a nice selection of drinks to choose from at the New Ground, unlikely the majority which offer only Carslberg or John Smiths, and unlike Withdean which had only whatever the Sportsman served up!
Nope, I wasn't knocking dark star and neither pub sells Harveys. I'm still harbouring some hope that I'll get to like hop head and I do like dark star APA.

I went to The Quadrant and it doesnt have Hophead now it is not on the eir beer list for this month. Mostly WJ King beers, which I quite like but defeats the object of going in there.
So went to the Evening Star, the beer was ok nothing brilliant but better than Harveys but for my taste it was too cold. Notters description of the pub was very apt what a dive everything wrong with it. I cannot remember ever running or even visiting such a run down place and I started in the docks of the east end of London. As I said my beer was OK as was my wifes lager but that is where the credit stops. If that is CAMRA pub of the year god help the worst mind you I have a distinct view on CAMRA and their members knowledge, which I have gained through vast experience but I could never piut it on here.
I am not sure whether I would take to Hophead or not so I shall have to go to the Partridge in Partridge Green to give it another try before deciding.

That's just as well, as it looks like a monkey hanging outside the window.
Are SERIOUSLY comparing the great Nelson with a monkey? A LEGEND with some sort of hairy baboon? Go and wash your mouth out!
