Craft 100 beer festival with 100 beers, cask and keg. £3 a glass (non refundable) but most cask beers reasonably priced (for London). Glasses were oversized and available in halves or pints. Comfortable on Thursday afternoon. I have only listed those I had.

First day of the Craft 100 Beer Festival, with all 100 beers available either on the bar or from a large stillage in the rear yard. 90%-plus are in cask-conditioned format. The beer list is outstanding; I’m struggling to remember a better list for a pub festival, and I’ve been to a few. Three of Bermondsey’s breweries (Anspach & Hobday, Brew by Numbers, Partizan) have beers here in cask format for the first time. I list just those beers I drank, plus a couple of additional London cask beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beavertown - Bloody 'ell | 7.20 | | The bottled version of this blood orange-infused IPA was probably my favourite beer of 2013. Fabulous to find a cask version it here. |
| Brew By Numbers - 11/02 Session IPA: Motueka & Centennial | 4.30 | | Cloudy orange/amber in colour. The BBN style works well in cask format. Massively hoppy. |
| Brixton - Sorrel Effra | 4.50 | | A special edition of the Effra Ale, with a substantial amount of sorrel, giving a very fruity and herbal pint. |
| By The Horns - Gift of the Gab | 5.90 | | A black, “nourishing” milk stout with a sweetish edge. |
| Redemption - Mango Pale Ale | 3.50 | | More than just a hint of mango in this delightfully fruity beer. |
| Atom - Bunsen | 5.00 | | In the American Brown Ale style, with plenty of hop flavours. |
| Weird Beard - Boring Brown Beer | 8.20 | | At this strength, anything but boring. |
| Anspach & Hobday - The Smoked Brown | 6.00 | Not Tried | |
| Anspach & Hobday - The Porter | 6.70 | Not Tried | |
| Partizan - Metric Porter | 11.30 | Not Tried | At £7 for a half, I gave this one a miss. |
| Kernel (The Kernel) - Brown Ale | 6.00 | Not Tried |

It has a small front garden and a larger rear yard. Closed by Craft Beer Co. then relaunched under new name The Clapham Tap and opened in August 2017. Six handpumps.
We have visited this pub twice, seen 21 different beers and tried 18 of them.
