Leyton Pub News

Craft beer is absolutely not a marketing ploy, or at least it wasn’t initially. The issue is that big brewing companies have taken to repackaging some of their beers in pretty cans and bottles and giving it a funny name. Just read the label carefully.

Looking forward to hearing what any Essex faces coming in on Tuesday and Saturday think about the new look Engineer.

They have a lovely Czech lager. Had a few on Sunday. Good fry up before at the reopened Cafe Melo too

The pub world is being taken over by Golden Ales and craft beer. If Abbot/Doombar/London Pride is not craft ale, what is?

Craft beer is just a marketing ploy. It is supposed to be a beer from a small independent brewery but the big brewers have latched onto it. Much the way the mega companies bought real ale breweries and are now closing them down. Under that criteria the three you mention would not qualify.

Never understood craft beer except as excuse to charge more, much like saying a hotel is a boutique hotel and putting prices up.

Apparently they have a pool table now!

Quite the luxury to find at a pub in Zone 2 now

Leyton is in Zone 3

It seems though they have sorted this out now according to the article. Lovely food there

Anyone go in the refurbished Leyton Engineer? It is only for home fans btw. Do the away fans have a bar? Maybe Kapture wine bar?

I went there last night. Just like the coach & horses you need to show your (season) ticket. Its nice enough and sells a variety of beers, but the staff are learning the ropes and typically 2-3 barrels went just as it got busy. A nice relaxed ambience inside. The toilets have moved upstairs (a major plus). £6.20 for the premium of the 2 lagers. I will go again soon (probably about 1.45pm Saturday!).

Nigel will go ballistic when he reads this. If I was you I would avoid him for a few weeks until he calms down.

Its not Nigel I'm worried about - its Kent and his rodeo whip!

On a serious note, the SS bar now has a bit of soul with the addition of some large pictures but until they dampen the sound down using carpet on the floor then beer sales will be down. The solid floor is creating the wrong type of noise. Its like drinking in an underground cavern.

The Drum is reopening in December for those coming in to the ground from Walthamstow and further out.
