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....

Oafty..

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 /ˈdrɑːft/, General American /ˈdr?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.

    • This is a remarkable interpretation of history. Wikipedia (with more footnotes and citations than you could shake a shitty stick at sez: The austerity programme was initiated in 2010 by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government. In his June 2010 budget speech, Osborne identified two goals. The first was that the structural current budget deficit would be eliminated to "achieve [a] cyclically-adjusted current balance by the end of the rolling, five-year forecast period". The second was that national debt as a percentage of GDP would fall. The government intended to achieve both of its goals through substantial reductions in public expenditure.[21] This was to be achieved by a combination of public spending cuts and tax increases amounting to £110 billion.[26] Between 2010 and 2013, the Coalition government said that it had reduced public spending by £14.3 billion compared with 2009–10.[27] Growth remained low, while unemployment rose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_government_austerity_programme From memory, last time around they were against the LTNs and competing with the Tories to pick up backlash votes - both failed. They had no counterproposals or ideas about how to manage congestion or pollution. This time around they're simply silent on the matter: https://www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/your-local-lib-dem-team/goosegreen Also, as we have seen from Mr Barber's comments on the new development on the old Jewsons yard, "leading campaigns to protect the character of East Dulwich and Goose Green" is code for "blocking new housing".
    • @Insuflo NO, please no, please don't encourage him to post more often! 😒
    • Revealing of what, exactly? I resurrected this thread, after a year, to highlight the foolishness of the OP’s op. And how posturing would be sagacity is quickly undermined by events, dear boy, events. The thread is about Mandelson. I knew he was a wrong ‘un all along, we all did; the Epstein shit just proves it. In reality, Kinnock, Blair, Brown, Starmer et all knew as well but accepted it, because they found him useful. As did a large proportion of the 2024 intake of Labour MPs who were personally vetted and approved by Mandelson.
