Mid afternoon I was the only customer in this traditional unspoilt street corner pub. Loud and unnecessary music spoiled what would've been a cosy comfortable experience.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | Just a tad sweeter than my Harvey's expectations were expecting. |
| Harvey's - Good Times | 3.40 | | Not seen this before so had to give it a try. No Harvey's expectations met as it was sour and undrinkable. Exchanged with good grace and apologies from the barmaid. |
| Harvey's - Tom Paine | 5.50 | Not Tried |

Sunday lunchtime and only a couple of other customers (three by the time I left). I like the unspoilt interior of this pub but found the welcome rather lacking on this occasion.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harvey's - XX Dark Mild (or Sussex XX Mild) | 3.00 | | Good Harvey's Mild. |
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Harvey's - Old Ale (or Sussex XXXX Old Ale) | 4.30 | Not Tried |

By now, Ian, Martin and I had had a few. Actually, they'd had quite a few. We discussed what's on our "drunk play list" of songs. Apparently it's not acceptable to have, "Oh what a night".
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | Big brett yeast hit. |
| Harvey's - XX Dark Mild (or Sussex XX Mild) | 3.00 | Not Tried | |

Busy with locals and a visit from the London based mild drinkers who took over the snug.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harvey's - XX Dark Mild (or Sussex XX Mild) | 3.00 | | On form here, sweet, malty and grainy with a berry fruit finish. My score 16/20. |
| Harvey's - Old Ale (or Sussex XXXX Old Ale) | 4.30 | | Excellent condition here, sweet malts balanced by some hoppiness and a lingering roasty finish. My score 17/20. |

The pub is found in Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 4JN.
Excellent back street corner local in Baker Street, until recently in the hands of a long-time experienced landlord, making it one of a dying breed days. Two roomed, with a main room with bar serving up to five Harveys beers and a smaller snug type room to the side. Since changed hands.
We have visited this pub 5 times, seen 8 different beers and tried 5 of them.
