Late afternoon and quiet just a handful in, no doubt down to the popularity of the nearby Hope. General consensus pub not worth of its GBG status, a couple of us left beers unfinished.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Treacle Stout | 5.40 | | Sharp and sour with no treacle flavour detectable |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | Badged as 'The Sun' IPA |
| Greene King - Hardys & Hansons Olde Trip | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| By The Horns - Old Smoke | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| By The Horns - Green Hop 2019 | 5.00 | Not Tried |

14:00 hours and packed with diners and what appeared to be a small child's birthday party. I amused myself watching somebody put about an ounce of salt on a gourmet meal.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Triple fff - Moondance | 4.20 | | Cold and very slightly hazy but quite acceptable. |
| Loddon - Gravesend Shrimpers Bitter | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Hanlons (formerly O'Hanlon's) - Yellow Hammer | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Sun Dance | 4.00 | Not Tried | No brewer's name on the pump clip, it just said "brewed in the heart of East Anglia". |
| Celt Experience (now brands are owned by Evans Evans) - Silures | 4.60 | Not Tried |

Evening. Probably the pub with the most modern feel in Carshalton tending towards being a beer boutique.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sharp's - Doom Bar Reserve 20 | 6.00 | | A Sharp's beer with a distinctive taste for once |
| Loddon - Gravesend Shrimpers Bitter | 4.10 | Not Tried | Why does the clip not show the Loddon provenance? Must put lots of people off |
| Bedlam - Golden Ale | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Purple Moose - Cwrw Ysgawen (Elderflower Ale) | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Brasilia! | 4.10 | Not Tried |
