The Maynard, Crouch End
FancyaPint?'s review...
Greene King didn't learn many lessons from the second generation of pub renovations (such as those done by M&B) and when the Maynard was refurbished, the 'Arms' was dropped and it became a cavernous, bland place to drink. Having recently taken ownership of the Real Pubs chain however, Greene King are making this one part of their new acquired brand. In came the 'Arms' again, and like the others in the chain is decorated in with moody lighting, exposed brickwork and the predictable virtually empty dining section. Indeed, eating here isn’t exactly cheap. Unlike normal Green Kings pubs, there is an above average selection of ales, usually including some local brews from small brewers. As such, the rating has improved accordingly on all fronts and it fares pretty well against the other similar competitors in Crouch End.

In the last 3 months there's been a beer festival and a renewed committment to providing ales that are from from run-of-the-mill.
Dark Star continues to feature - its full range being explored inc.the wonderful Original.
But currently,the new(ish) brewer Windsor and Eton is getting a run and that's where it really gets interesting.
The quite extraordinary Conqueror Dark IPA is now available,and this one is in a class of its own - sui generis,you might say.
Dark IPA ? Try it and be persuaded.The Maynard is definitely one to watch.

Now featuring a permanent array of 4 real ales (but not the usual suspects).Prominent are offerings from Nethergate and Sambrook of Wandsworth.The guvnor believes that local ales should be represented.All in all the signs are good.And if you like your music 'audible' you won't be disappointed.
