| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| RCH - Steam Pole | 4.90 | | The May special from RCH, a beer that I have passed over many times during May in my quest for mild, so it had to be done. A surprisingly good golden bitter with good toffee maltiness and hoppy bitterness in harmony. Full bodied and smooth, easy drinking for its strength. My score 16/20. |

I met up with an old friend from University and she was thirsty so we came here, got a drink and sat on the outside decking catching up.

| Oakham - JHB | 3.80 | | Love this beer, and this was in very good nick, citrus hops were excellent. Just not quite as good as some pints of this I've had. |

James Watt from BrewDog was down to launch the Sink The Bismarck, the strongest beer in the world, so I came with the other London beer glitterati to get a piece of the action. I even ended up on the BrewDog blog video of the event. Don't really remember too much else apart from talking to a Sake Sommelier from a restaurant in Knightsbridge. BrewDog Hardcore on tap was awesome.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - American Pale Ale (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 4.70 | | I mean it was hard to keep up with a quadruple IPA in the Bismarck, and the Hardcore at 9.2% ABV, but this on cask was still really good. |

The pub is found in Southwark, Central London, SE1 9AG.
Small pub on the north side of Borough Market run by the same people who own the Utobeer bottled beer stall in the market itself. The bar has 3 hand pulls serving UK cask beers and 6 taps supplying continental and world beers. An extensive bottle beer selection is also available from the fridges behind the bar. The bar has stripped wood floors, pale beige walls and a historic Pilkington glass ceiling. A decked patio provides extra space and seating. Definitely an excellent addition to the Southwark beer scene.
We have visited this pub 151 times, seen 348 different beers and tried 249 of them.
