Ha, probably true. East London is RIFE with micro breweries etc... all at £5+ a pint, naturally.

Always liked The Ship and Mitre when I've been. Apparently the food there is pretty good too.

Many I agree with, but I think the article is primarily aimed at the younger or 'flashier' clientele based on some of the inclusions.

The Caly is a good pub, with their jazz nights enjoyable. I love the Grapes on Knight St, but it can often be overcrowded on a weekend.

The Fly is enjoyable, if not a bit on the expensive side. However, Dom looks after his ale and customers, so you pay for what you get back.

The Ship is just the ship - great selection and where I go in town before the match, due to the ale and atmosphere.

Spent many a night in the Baltic over the years, and their Summer Ale is one of my favourites. Just a shame it keeps chopping and changing.

Purely for the ale though, they've missed out the Roscoe Head, The Belv (Sugnall Street), The Cracke and The Lion.

By the way.... Craft Ale? What's wrong with Real Ale?

£5 a pint for a nicer, often stronger, beer isn't too bad though considering a pint of premium lager can be £4.00 - £4.50 anyway.

Yeah, I'd sooner pay £5 for a decent ale than £4 for a Carlsberg Export or something. Love Birra Moretti though, which is one of the more expensive lagers.

I need a pay rise.

Yeah, probably the most expensive. At least its authentic though, unlike Peroni (which is like the Carling in Italy apparently)

I'm not a big fan of Peroni Nastro, it has to be the perfect temperature or it's has a nasty after taste. The red label Peroni (the more popular one in Italy) is nice, but Moretti is better.
 

Anyway.....

Can't believe the London prices quoted above.

Love a good pint of proper beer, the Belvedere used to be great but not been in there for a few years. Is it still open?

Need to try this new Brew Dog bar.

Absolutely nothing mate.

I'm a bit behind the times like, but my understanding is we used to call "craft beers" ale which came from microbreweries, but it now includes keg ( boo ) and more esoteric stuff.

I'm going to put my Camra type anorak on for a moment ..

Problem with some of these "craft beer" pubs is they often have too many pumps for the amount of ale they sell, so old fashioned things like flushing the pipes nightly are a thing of the past because there'd be too much wastage. Some of them would be better with reducing the number of lines of what they sell and focusing a bit more on quality.

A minority of "craft beer" establishments are now a place to be seen at, and the quality of what's being served isn't the most important thing.
