The Cock Tavern in Hackney

Tuesday 13th November

My first visit to this recent addition to the London brewing scene. The home of the Howling Hops brewery,

Located on Mare Street, just around the corner from Hackney Central station or a 5 minute walk from Hackney Downs station.

On my visit there were 4 Howling Hop beers with 4 guest ales from other London brewerys on handpump.

A spacious one bar pub with the brewery located in cellar beneath.

The 4 Howling Hop beers were all sampled and all were very good. My friend MTMM scored and rated the Light English 15/20 and the other 3 at 16/20, very good scores.

• Mild
• Light English
• Ruby
• Victorian Stout

Pictures of the inside of the pub are below:

I also had a quick brewery visit whilst there:

Lots of hops ready to be added
