This is a characterful real ale pub run as a collaboration between Lincoln Green brewery and Everards under the Everards project, or at least I think it still is as I failed to see the usual Everards Tiger on the pumps during my visit this week, although Everards Sunchaser Golden Ale was in situ. Then there were four ales from Lincoln Green alongside Wellbeck Abbey Brewery Incognito and Birmingham Brewing Home Grown Brummie. They do paddles here with 3 1/3 glasses for the price of a pint,
so I tried three of the Lincoln Green ales, the Marion Pale Ale, the Archer American IPA and the Tuck Porter. To be honest they were nothing special and the Porter was probably the pick of the bunch.
This is also a pretty good multiroomed traditional pub, which is over five floors (if the information board by the bar is to be believed) but the lower two cellar floors are long term closed and I didn’t get to see the roof top terrace or go out in the garden, but I was more than happy to explore the multiple rooms on the ground floor level, especially when we found the small one with the bay window view of Canning Circus where all the board games are stored and the decision to have a game of Trivial Pursuit meant I could also try the Wellbeck Abbey Brewery Incognito, which was well kept.
All in all I liked it here, and as the Canning Circus houses some good pub options this one can be done as a double with the nearby Organ Grinder for the Blue Monkey brewery beers or even a treble with the Hand and Heart.
