The Craft Beer Co, City of London

A truly amazing and overwhelming feeling when first entering this pub and seeing the bar, there cannot be a more impressive bar in the country. As already mentioned it is without doubt the finest range of beer available in the UK.

Fifteen real ales, one real cider and twenty one keg beers and a thick 'bible' for a beer menu of the bottled beers. I thought �3.40 for a pint of ale was very reasonable for this area and especially for beers of this quality. When it comes to the keg and bottled beers its certainly a different matter, however the beers available in most cases have never been in this county before. I think when it comes to specialist beers its tricky subject, its one thing to be over charged for a belgian beer like Chimay or American beer like Sierra Nevada which are common these days, but when we are talking about beers from De Struise, Stillwater or Mikkeller its bit different. When one considers what beers these guys have managed to source, it is reasonable the prices they are charging. It is quite simply a stunning line up of beers, one of the finest you could find in all of Europe.

The pub is beautiful with a very traditional ground floor and wonderful modern first floor lounge perfect to chill out in and i congratulate the guys from CASK in Pimlico on this new venture.

Very nice small pub which serves four decent ales and has a very nice menu.... Rib eye Steak I had was very good and fairly priced.

Wrong Photo and Pub...

Also for reviewers suggesting the emphasis here is on American beers in bottles or kegs, it should be stated they have Ten Hand pumps which are always serving ten different British craft real ales from the best micro breweries in the country... The special beers from America, Denmark and other countries compliment this range of beers, but it is obvious that real ale is the number one priority at this venue. Many of the keg and bottled beers they have are unavailable anywhere else in the UK, however this does not change the fact that Ten real ale hand pumps dominate the bar.

BITE needs a kick up its arse to get this photo issue sorted, wouldnt happen on the other pub rating sites!
