Litovel Premium

The Approach Tavern also has an interesting selection of Czech beers available on tap. It was Chris's round and he selected to go for Litovel Premium (5.0% abv) a nice bitter, grassy pilsner from the Litovel region of the Czech republic. The beer is quite similar to other pilsners such as Budvar and Staropramen, a quality Czech Pils.

Fullers Discovery

My mate Chris's local is the Approach Tavern on Approach Road in Bethnal Green. Thoroughly tired out from our crawl we retired here for some tucker and a few final beers to end the session. The tipple of choice was Fullers Discovery (3.9% abv), a summer blond, golden ale which is extremely dry and refreshing with a stack of wheat malt character. I never really liked discovery previously, but I have to admit that the taste has grown on me. There are some negative aspects of the beer though and some of this comes from Fullers own marketing department. Last year there was a bit of an advertising campaign pushing Discovery with 'Ice and a Slice'! This refereed to the beer being served on ice with a slice of lemon or lime in the top. I think the idea was to snag a little bit of the carbonated cider market which was starting to boom around the same time. The thought of beer on ice makes me shudder! Website
