The Swimmer at The Grafton Arms, Holloway

Top Top boozer.

Exaggeration from previous commentator who said beer went up twice as much as it in fact did. This irritates me when people can't get the facts right.

As I have finally got my break in the craft beer industry, I am now so proud of businesses such as these that keep historic buildings like this open and the hand pumps still a-pumpin'! Energy costs, transport costs mean that my small business struggles hold down prices or discount as much as we'd like to our best customers, and I'd give my eye teeth to sell our brews here. I'd struggle to get the RRP below what is here anyway!

I'm just glad this place is here with a fun mixed crowd, great staff and not sold off for flats or a costa coffee. Ten pence on my pint is something I wish didn't happen, but I can well see why it ends up there unfortunately.

Save our quality boozers, don't give em gripe for keeping the doors to the beautiful buildings open!
