Evening until close. Having been clocked for giving a recent poor review I had a good discussion with the Guv about beer choice options and business pressures

Evening. Visit shortened by poor range and quality.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Volden - Pale (formerly Pale Ale) was 4.6% | 4.20 | | Just a half, just about acceptable |
| King Beer (formerly W.J. King) - Elixir #1 APA | 4.80 | | Warned this was cloudy. It WAS cloudy and pretty insipid - not conditioned out at all it seems. Somehow reinforced my general regard for King beers |
| Hop Stuff - Renegade IPA | 5.60 | Not Tried | Warned to avoid as end of cask |

20 Dec 2015 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Franklins - Pale | 4.00 | | As clear as a bell and quite drinkable |
| Hop Stuff - Oatmeal Stout | 4.80 | | Very last out of cask - seems had been on for a week. Swapped with good grace |

Evening until close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hop Stuff - Smoked Brown Ale | 6.40 | | Made with infusion of Lapsang Souchong tea |
| Tiny Rebel - Cwtch | 4.60 | Not Tried | Just a taster and one sniff was enough to reject this lemon juice concoction which cliptually describes itself as a Welsh Red Ale. I fear for British taste buds as this has won 2015 CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain |
| King Beer (formerly W.J. King) - Northern Lights | 4.20 | Not Tried |
08 Nov 2015 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until a premature close due to lack of patronage. Self-fulfilling perhaps as latecomers will be deterred by risk of failure in future.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Volden - VIM | 3.80 | | Slight haze, OK easy drinking |
| King Beer (formerly W.J. King) - Brighton Best | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| King Beer (formerly W.J. King) - Poachers Moon | 4.10 | Not Tried |
01 Nov 2015 (Philip Pirrip)
After midnight early morning visit until close. Some halloweeners in evidence and the music turned up high.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clarkshaws - Hellhound IPA | 5.50 | | No more an IPA than I am. Clip says naturally hazy but, as Blackadder might say, this was as murky as Mr Murk who has just been appointed Professor of Murk at Oxford University. Needed lemonade aplenty to finish it |
| Volden - VIM | 3.80 | | Ugh what have they done to this brew. Needed lemonade aplenty |
| King Beer (formerly W.J. King) - Horsham Best Bitter | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

The pub is found in Lewisham, Greater London, SE13 6NR.
Formerly The Coach & Horses and recently re-opened as part of the "Antic Collective". A large pub in Lewisham High Street, just south of the Ladywell baths complex and H.E. Olby's Plumbing Centre. One very large bar area with lots of floor space. One feature of the newly re-opened house is an array of 5 handpumps and the introduction of a gamut of guest beers from London and more widespread and the sale of a hand pumped cider. A welcome addition to the Lewisham real ale scene. Has a bar billiards table in use and a table football table. Regular live bands play and a small dancing area is provided. Antic closed the pub on 30th October 2016 in "preparation" for its opening of a currently closed pub in the Lewisham market area.
We have visited this pub 183 times, seen 307 different beers and tried 184 of them.
