The Crown Tavern, Clerkenwell

I found this a comfortable pub, with an interesting range of beers. In addition to those already mentioned, Cantillon gueuze is pretty rare, and I've never seen Franziscaner on draught before. Good range of Trappists too although the bar man bizzarely rolled the bottle of Orval on the bar to get all the sediment. I've seen this with German wheat beers but never a Belgium beer! Food was bland.
