Pure Evil - Sebright Arms Homebrew Project


Dark and murky like a recently disturbed mill pond.  Sweet, strong, and challenging like a tramp in a manic phase.

Strong and slightly metallic hop notes; almost the liquid equivalent of licking a rusty nail.  Pure Evil despite its name is actually quite an interesting beer.

Not one to drink on a session and at eight percent not one to be trifled with.  This is the first in a series of collaborations between the Sebright Arms, local artists, and local brewers.

Pure Evil was created with the Rechurch Brewery and a local artist known as Pure Evil as well.  I'll look forward to next but if you want to give it a try head down to the Sebright Arms whilst it's still around!

Hundred Crows Rising - Chapel Market, N1


I’ve probably been spending more time in pubs than could be considered healthy recently.  One I quite like at the moment is Hundred Crows Rising on Chapel Market.

Bright and airy, with space outside on the street for when the sun decides to come out, the Hundred crows is always quite chilled and a great place to have a few beers on a Sunday afternoon.  I guess for the most part it appeals to me as the decor is quite Spartan and they have stuffed crows everywhere...
