Tap East, Stratford City, E20

Just a flying visit to this smart new brewpub, unfortunately, as I didn't realise how long the walk through the huge Westfield shopping centre from Stratford station was going to be. The small bar only has limited seating, supplemented by a couple of tables outside in the mall. The brewing vessels are visible through a glass door at the far end of the room. A good choice of real ales and craft beers was available from the six handpumps and ten keg taps, including two from Oakham, a Dark Star, Brentwood's 2.5% BBC2 and a couple of their own - Brown and John Edwin Bitter (£3.30). Overall, first impressions were pretty good and I look forward to returning when I have a bit more time...
