| Downlands (formerly South Downs) - Evening Star Revival APA | 4.80 | | Presented with very good head and lacing and lasting well on this American Pale Ale and described as a retro in style and from a microbrewery based in Small Dole, West Sussex, set up in 2011 and about 11 to 12 miles north of Brighton. A dry fruited first hit. A fruity hoppiness climbing up from classic American hop varieties such as Cascade, Centennial and Chinook, and with the hallmarks of early-2000s’ West Coast APAs. Its Crystal malt lending it a toffee-apple sweetness alongside its malted barley, typically Maris Otter, giving rise to a biscuity, nutty and toasty bread-crust flavouring landing on my taste buds. A dry but fruited hoppiness dancing out. Presented here in top form. *It is a collaboration beer with the legendary Evening Star pub in Brighton and brewer Rob Jones, a pivotal figure in the British craft beer movement, specifically known for founding the Dark Star Brewing Company in the cellar of the Evening Star in 1994, initially called Skinner's Brewery before it was renamed Dark Star. |

The pub is found in Surbiton, Greater London, KT6 5NF.
The Lamb, built in 1850, is a family-run pub at 73 Brighton Road, Surbiton, run by a couple dedicated to hosting many community events. All year-round events are aided by a local group dedicated to bringing people together through creativity. Very much a live music venue with for example Lambstock which was born from a love of live music in 2016 as a one-day festival and growing to a whole weekend of festivities. Formerly four separate rooms, The Lamb now comprises a single horseshoe shaped bar, believed to be the original. There is an extensive covered outdoor area. Their live music and other events include an outdoor pop-up kitchen with local guest chefs. The pub had a small brewery in Victorian times. For the real ale drinkers of today, there are regular beers and ever-changing guest beers and usually from microbreweries, and sometimes local. This has led it to win two local CAMRA Pub of the Year awards including in 2024. Dogs are not admitted but children are but only until evening. On a visit in February 2026 there were four cask ales on.
We have visited this pub once, seen 4 different beers and tried 1 of them.
