In a pre-event to Moose On The Loose - Reading, the Cambridge lads heading to Reading, via London, and had a few London beers. Since getting to Reading means getting between London Kings Cross and Paddington, we decided to walk and pub crawl between the two. Paddington station is most famous for blue jacket wearer, Paddington Bear. However there’s a new bear in town. Guess we’d better go and find it.
The Cambridge crew, consisting of myself, Nathan and John, arrived into Kings Cross at around 11am. We headed straight for The Euston Tap.
I decided to start on a nitro stout, Social Club by Round Corner. A strong start, to what I hoped would be a top beer weekend.
From The Euston Tap, we did a decent stroll towards The Jackalope.
I’d been to this pub before, to have a pint before a Manic Street Preachers concert!
I was in the mood for something German, luckily for me, Ayinger Hell was available!
I really like this pub. It’s a proper back street boozer, but feels very upmarket. Pint two of the day dispatched, we set off in search of a bear.
I, obviously, forgot to take a photo of pub exterior… So here’s a nerd shot, of the cellar!
The Bear is owned by Craft Beer Co, and I highly recommend their pubs.
Like other Craft Beer Co pubs, the beer selection is very good. I was pleased to see Iron Pier, however it was a bit lacking in condition. The chicken burger was tasty though!
There you go, we found the bear that we were looking for. I think I need to return, and give it another go. I really enjoyed the walk though, much better than a stuffy tube train!
Thanks for reading! Join me again, later in the week, for Moose On The Loose - Reading, and even more!
