Ah, a pub by the sea. That serves... craft beer? Yes please! It's small, dark and BoHo inside but there is good seating.outside to enjoy the sun (if you're lucky weatherwise) and sea. The Four keg beers available are from Vault City, Mash Gang, Brighton Bier and Tartarus plus a can/bottle fridge so maybe not a huge selection but it's all good stuff. Maybe not the premier beer bar in Brighton but the best-placed.

Bag in a box at Piston Broke, Shoreham-by-Sea. Very, very light yellow, flirting with clear. Still and flat. Faint smell of apple, but it's just about enough. Intense taste of apples and booze. Sweet but not overly so. This is an gentle giant of a cider, made more frightening by its subtlety. Slightly tangy finish. Light to medium body, no hint carbonation. Not perfect but it grew on me.

Keg draught from Bison Craft Beer (Hove). Light gold and incredibly hazy with a small white head and generous lacing. Pink grapefruit dominates the aroma with lighter notes of lemon and satsuma. Taste is sweeter than I expected but it is lush as opposed to sickly. Sugared grapefruit and fresh pineapple juice make way to a light but dogged bitterness which dominates the long finish. Thick body, soft to medium carbonation. Amazing stuff.

Draught keg at Easy Tiger @ the Hampton, Brighton. Light yellow, mostly clear with a small film of white head. Big grainy aroma, a little bit of citrus. Taste, well the initial taste is far to sweet but then I get used to it. A bit. Some saccharin notes before the drier finish. Light body with low to medium carbonation. It is a solid enough pils but the first Beak Beer that I felt was overall mid.

Draught keg at the Rook Taproom, Brighton. Very light gold with a slight haze. A small layer of whitish head and decent lacing. Not a lot of aroma unfortunately. Some grainy notes and hints of fruit, possibly lemon and pear. Taste is much improved: sweet with notes of tropical hops, leading to a gentle bitterness. Light body with medium to heavy carbonation. All in all, it is excellent for a low alcohol beer.

Incredible beer pub which should not be missed if visiting Brighton. It is a little out of the way and up a hill (only a bit) but well worth the trek. Coming in there's a lovely little room with the bar to the right. More seating to the back. 20 taps, ranging from no/low to German lagers to sours to impy stouts. There isn't a single beer available that I wouldn't want to drink. A must.
