Taddington Moravka at The Pembury
Good news for London lager fans. The Pembury Tavern has just started dispensing Taddington Moravka, the lager I evangalised about after my trip up to the brewery in the Peak District (read more here). Steve - the pub's landlord - came to our tasting session at The Jerusalem Tavern last month. He was so taken with the beer he decided to become the first in the capital to sell Britain's best lager on a permanent basis.
The Pembury Tavern is at 90 Amhurst Road, E8 1JH (Tel: 020 8986 8597, website). It's well served by a number of bus routes (including my favourites the 38 and 55) and is within spitting distance of Hackney Central station. I've written about it before a few times.

Saw this at a pub in Derby called The Falstaff last Sunday on my criceking weekend at Trent Bridge. Didn't have a pint as too busy sampling the pub's own home brewed beers.
TAXI to the Pembury please!
[hope this beer's as good as you're saying Stonch old boy!]
Amazing scenes!
Looking forward to the festival in July even more now.
Britain's best lager? That there's fightin' talk, mister. A lager better than Harviestoun Schiehallion would take some doing, in my suddenly thirsty opinion. And it's only 6.41am.
Harviestoun Schiehallon - is it even a proper lager? Is it actually lagered? In any case, it's like comparing apples and oranges - these odd golden ale/lager hybrids in cask owe little to Czech brewing traditions. Doesn't stop them being decent beers I suppose, but few of them are.
Schiehallion is absolutely a lager. It uses lager yeast, it's made using a lagering process, it's a lager.
It's not a Pilsner, no, but Pilsner isn't all there is to lager.
Schiehallion itself is chuffing lovely stuff. Well worth a try if you haven't already.
Schiehallion is lovely regardles! Going to take a walk down the Pembury later and try some of this Moravka.
Yay!
