Think ED has been resting on its laurels. Today took walk down to our trendy neighbour Brixton. Two lovely bars Craft Beer Co and The Crown and Anchor. Craft beer co first - ED Bars - go visit and learn how to run a bar!!! Especially you Draft House you sorry pretence of a bar !!! - hang your head in shame compared to these two! Crown and Anchor sell beer and food - go there and realise EDT, Bishop etc have lost plot. ED demands better !!!

Radiant Bhuna - really? Grow up. Maybe someone laughed at that once, they were probably humouring you. Anyway, re Draft House, was really looking forward to this opening in ED - but last 3 visits - Just one beer on cask and decidedly lack lustre. EDT has a few , but again lack lustre. Hoopers just had one on draft, again poor. Sure we deserve better in ED?

The Draft House is spelt as such. 'Draft'


draft

n.

1. A current of air in an enclosed area.

2. A device that regulates the flow or circulation of air.

3.

a. The act of pulling loads; traction.

b. Something that is pulled or drawn; a load.

c. A team of animals used to pull loads.


Comes from when carts carrying Beer Barrels were Pulled by animals (Horses)

I like the Draft House so maybe it's aimed at people like me.


The ordinary beer/lager is tasty and cheap (Wandle ?3.50 DH Lager ?3.85). I like the Camden Town brews at ?4.75/pt (especially the wheat beer and the inky stout).


I don't think Chimay Grande Reserve is much cheaper anywhere you go foxy and I've no problem with the offering high priced stuff - I don't have to order it.


Their burgers (and onion rings) are very good and I like the music I have heard when I've been in.


As for bars in Brixton, I'm sure they're fine and when I lived in Brixton I drank there.


Now I live here.

Maxxi - I hoped the Draft House was aimed at me too (fervent beer lover)just bit disappointed about their cask beer, or lack of it. Walked into Craft Beer Co. in Brixon today and 10 beers on Cask, 10 on keg and more than I could count in bottle. Cask beer 3.40 - 3.90 per pint all top notch. Happy to walk to Brixton, just happier if could find nearer SE22! And as for earlier spelling error - I had been actively sampling Said cask ales this lunchtime....

I dislike beer but like words, so:


re draught/draft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draught_and_draft#Miscellaneous_spelling_differences


British English usually uses draft for all senses as the verb - for a preliminary version of a document,for an order of payment (bank draft), and for military conscription (although this last meaning is not as common as in American English).

It uses draught for drink from a cask (draught beer); for animals used for pulling heavy loads (draught horse); for a current of air; for a ship's minimum depth of water to float; and for the game draughts, known as checkers in America.

It uses either draught or draft for a plan or sketch (but almost always draughtsman in this sense; a draftsman drafts legal documents).


American English uses draft in all these cases, including draftsman (male or female) (although in regard to drinks, draught is sometimes found).


Canada uses both systems


In Australia, draft is used for technical drawings, is accepted for the "current of air" meaning, and is preferred by professionals in the nautical sense.


The pronunciation is always the same for all meanings within a dialect (RP /หˆdrษ‘หft/, General American /หˆdr?ft/).


The spelling draught is older; draft appeared first in the late 16th century.

if you look at beer, maybe

But the best cups of coffee I have had in recent months have been on LL (at Ho of Tippler and Franklins, since you ask). The coffee in Soho and the West End doesn't even come close.

Sounds about right. I think there are some decent places, but nothing blows me away. Camberwell is probably better for restaurants.
