Transport for London have been doing a great job keeping everything moving in the snow – but Borough Market is nevertheless deserted and this pub almost empty in the peak early evening session.

|---|---|---|---|
| Anspach & Hobday - Off the Cuff | 4.00 | | The first brew from London’s 36th active commercial brewery, currently ‘cuckoo brewing’ at Brew Wharf. It is a nice, amber coloured, juicy bitter with interesting hop flavours. |
| Brew Wharf - Black Cat Rye PA | 5.60 | Not Tried |

Quiet for a Saturday afternoon, got a seat right by the bar.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew Wharf - Black Cat Rye PA | 5.60 |  | Black in colour with an earthy flavour. Some bitter hop but overall rather unbalanced flavours and not really to my taste or style. My score 13/20. |
| Anspach & Hobday - Off the Cuff | 4.00 | | Brwed at Brew Wharf, this was a bitter, hoppy beer with dry citrus hop right through to the finish. My score 14/20. |

| Brew Wharf - Wai-iti XPA | 5.00 | | A very pale, single-hop beer with a bitter finish. |
| Brew Wharf - Black Cat Rye PA | 5.60 | | A dark beer with fruity hops and plenty of rye tastes. |

Fairly quiet in here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew Wharf - Back to the Junga | 3.80 | | Golden coloured. Easy-drinking beer, with Nelson Sauvin and Motueka hops giving a fruity softness followed by a bitter finish. |
| Brew Wharf - Borough Brown | 5.00 | | Dark brown in colour. Heavily malty, with some relief from Willamette and Northern Brewer hops. |

Late Saturday afternoon and quite busy inside with football on TV.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew Wharf - Borough Brown | 5.00 | | Dark brown ale with a smooth, full bodied flavour. Fairly sweet and nutty with some roast malt and hop bitterness for balance. A little fruit in the finish. My score 16/20. |
| Brew Wharf - Back to the Junga | 3.80 | | Hoppy pale golden bitter, a little harsh and dry for my taste. My score 14/20. |

It’s Friday night and the pub is busy. This is the first time I have been in here since Brew Wharf’s Olympic closure (when it formed part of Team USA House) and subsequent refurbishment – nothing much seems to have changed.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew Wharf - Cascadian Pale | 5.10 | | Very pale – pale malt, fruity US hops (Willamette, Cascade) , sharply bitter finish. |
| Brew Wharf - No “lager” Lager | 4.80 | | Almost too many double-negatives in this beer to keep pace with. Brewed in the Kölsch style, which is an ale not a lager, but using pale lager malt. Definitely not, not, not a lager. |

Busy inside so sat outside under the heated courtyard.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew Wharf - No “lager” Lager | 4.80 | | Better than a lager, brewed with ale yeast giving more body with good fruity hop flavours and some malt balance. My score 16/20. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew Wharf - Cascadian Pale | 5.10 | | Good straightfoward strong pale ale with Cascade hops. Lots of citrus hops with a full bodied flavour. My score 16/20. |
