| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| AllGates - Celtic Pale Ale | 4.10 | | Needed this as an antidote to the Steel City beer previously. Pale and quite hoppy with a fruity finish. My score 15/20. |
| Little Ale Cart - Steel City Weapons of Mouth Destruction | 4.50 | | Very pale, very bitter and very hoppy. Does what it says. Seems to be some spiciness in this giving a hot flavour like chilli or some such. Not to my taste. My score 11/20. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strathaven - Craigmill Mild | 3.50 | | Very dark mild with a full bodied malty sweetness and low hop rate. The finish has some bitterness. My score 16/20. |
| Skinner's - Kate Loves Willy | 4.30 | | Sweetish amber ale with good balance of malt and fruity hop flavours. The finish is dry and fairly hoppy. My score 15/20. |

Fairly quiet thanks to the non showing of football (Wheatsheaf was busier).
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yates & Baxter (usually known as Yates Cumbria) - Spring Fever | 4.70 | | Shown as 4.5% on pumpclip. Blonde in colour with a sweet caramelly taste verging on diacetyl. Little hoppiness to speak of. My score 14/20. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purple Moose - Talyllyn Pioneer | 3.90 | | Pale and unusually malty from this brewery with a sweetish, grainy cereal malt flavour. Light hoppiness in the finish. My score 15/20. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wychwood (now brewed at Banks's) - Hot Choclate | 3.90 | | Dark brown, not sure what this is supposed to be, malty but not chocolatey, not bitter and very little hoppiness. Thin body, dry finish. My score 14/20. |

The pub is found in Southwark, Central London, SE1 9AA.
Famous pub opposite Borough Market in Stoney Street. Central bar has many beers which change on a regular basis and are mostly from UK micros. Can be extremely busy. Refurbishment some time ago and now there is one main room with a side area with seating as well. Many customers use the pavement outside to stand and enjoy their drinks. Really a must for anyone taking in London pubs. Sports 12 handpumps with 6 in each of the 2 distinct bar serving areas plus a further 4 for cider dispense at the far rear. Upstairs restaurant bar area too, mainly for lunchtime use. In 2019 the real ale choice was drastically reduced to 4 and the cider was withdrawn. Downstairs toilets. Card payment only, cash not accepted here.
We have visited this pub 282 times, seen 813 different beers and tried 647 of them.
