Evening visit. Always surprised how many rock songs these tribute acts play that I don't know the words to and everyone else here seems to.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Vintage Ale (bottle conditioned) | 8.50 | | First try of the 2024 bottled and a warming mellow near wine |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | Served as probably ESB should be served |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Gale's HSB | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| Tiny Rebel - Cwtch | 4.60 | Not Tried | |

21 Sep 2024 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until midnight close. Another very good tribute band playing, though I recognised perhaps only half of the songs.

|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Vintage Ale 2024 | 8.40 | | 4½* Same 3rd cask as yesterday nearing the end |

20 Sep 2024 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until close. A good buzzin' atmosphere.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Vintage Ale 2024 | 8.40 | | 3rd cask since yesterday's launch and selling fast. Superb taste bomb with ideal head and lacing. There was talk of peach, lemon and spices but too complex for me to pick up such details |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | Not Tried | |

14 Sep 2024 (Philip Pirrip)
Late evening visit until close. Once again a talented and loud tribute band was performing.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | | Best LP I have had for a long time. Oddly bitterer than the ESB tonight and it was drunk after the ESB too |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | Very creamy texture, less bitterness than expected |
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Gale's HSB | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| Full Circle - Hoop | 4.80 | Not Tried |
25 May 2024 (Philip Pirrip)
Late evening visit. Standing at the bar with a tribute rock band's loudspeaker pointed right at me was too much so I migrated to the little snug room at the front.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | Just as it should be |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Sambrook's - Night Shift | 3.50 | Not Tried | |
| Tiny Rebel - Park Life | 4.20 | Not Tried |
11 May 2024 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit with a tribute rock band with an overpowering drummer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | ESB at its best - the real flavours came out once my palate attuned |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |

27 Apr 2024 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until close. Always surprised by the older generation's attendance levels here for Saturday rock live tribute bands and the dancing and singing along.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | Rather creamy |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 |  | Rather chilled but there again who knows what London Pride should taste like anymore, I certainly don't |
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |

09 Mar 2024 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit, another good rock tribute band. One dancing gentleman came a nasty cropper with a backwards fall.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | Fine bitter form |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |

24 Feb 2024 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until close. Very enthusiastic reggae cover live band knocking out many favourites.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | 4½* Not far off being ESB in exceptional condition |

10 Feb 2024 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit. As always a good tribute band blasting out.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | | The marking dilemma for LP is now that I have no idea what it should actually taste like, being so varied and yet so seemingly bland |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | Not Tried | |
| Dark Star - American Pale Ale (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |

The pub is found in Bromley, Greater London, BR1 1HE.
Fuller's Ale & Pie house now operated independently by a leaseholder, in a grand converted High Street (north end) bank in the heart of Bromley, attracts the quieter, older clientele in a town overrun by gobby yobs. Good sized ale range all from the Fuller's stable. Food is decent too. Large sceen TV useful for sporting events. The other Fuller's pub in town, Barrel & Horn (formerly The Tom Foolery), is just yards up the road. Large red brick built former bank which retains the ornate circular tiled entrance hall. 1 long bar counter to the right equipped with 6 handpumps with compartmented booths opposite. A small club room to the front with wooden panelling. Another room of seating at the rear. 50p per pint CAMRA members' discount on cask ales.
We have visited this pub 31 times, seen 48 different beers and tried 14 of them.
