First day of the festival and nowhere near all beers on but a reasonable selection to keep me satisfied for an afternoon. I have only listed the beers I tried. All of the ones I had were in excellent condition.

The pub is found in Battersea, Greater London, SW11 5TN.

Held in the main hall of the Battersea Arts Centre. Central stillage area dispenses beer as the casks are ready. Decent if not overly exciting UK list with a very good foreign bar. Cider bar and more seating downstairs. Easy to access from Waterloo/Clapham Junction.

We have visited this pub twice, seen 17 different beers and tried them all.
