|---|---|---|---|
| Clarence & Fredericks - Special Bitter | 4.60 | | Darkish bitter but very good indeed |
| RedWillow - Faithless XXX Beetroot Stout | 5.40 | | First rate, full of body and an is it, isn't it real beetroot infusion enigma |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

Evening until close. I think I might have been keeping the staff from their beds.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - Hophead Simcoe & Ahtanum | 3.80 | | Excellent taste hit but isn't this brand dilution for Hophead as it was not Hophead per se |
| Adnams - Lighthouse | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Clarence & Fredericks - Golden Ale | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Late Knights - P.I.P.A. (Polish IPA) | 5.40 | Not Tried |

Evening until 2300 close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moor - So'Hop | 4.10 | | Moor is getting more and more cloudy with its unfined ales. This resembled a scrumpy |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Saltaire - Triple Choc (was Triple Chocoholic) | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| Arbor Ales - Tasmanian Devil | 4.60 | Not Tried |

Evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whitstable - Native Bitter | 3.70 | | Cloying and less clean on palate than I have had previously |
| Marble - Manchester Bitter | 4.20 | | Far too lemony and less like a beer |
| Clarence & Fredericks - Golden Ale | 3.80 | Not Tried |
09 Nov 2013 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening late.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shamblemoose - #8 Pamplemoose Grapefruit IPA | 5.00 | | Had all the flavours but totally flat with no apparent condition or carbonation. With these it could have been most appetising |
| Adnams - Ghost Ship | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| East London (ELB) - Nightwatchman | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Clarence & Fredericks - Cascadian Black | 5.00 | Not Tried |
05 Nov 2013 (Philip Pirrip)
Late evening. 2320 hours and entry refused as about to lock the doors and go home.

Evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moor - Revival (was 3.8%) | 3.40 | | Pretty grim. Hazy, little condition or carbonation. Its get up and go had gone so I got up and went after slow drinking to finish it |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Elephant School (sub-brand of Brentwood) - Aussie Blonde | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Rooster's - High Treason | 4.70 | Not Tried |

Evening before the Great Storm breaks. Seemed all potential customers were tucked up already at home.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brentwood - IPA | 3.70 | | Flat, no condition - needed lemonade to liven it up and make it appetising |
| Pitfield's - Hewitt's Liberty Pale Ale | 3.60 | | In absence of proper provenance have called this Pitfield's brewed. Very hazy and poor condition made it slow drinking |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Loch Ness - Red Ness | 4.20 | Not Tried |
20 Oct 2013 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening late.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bristol Beer Factory - Independence | 4.60 | | |
| Purity - Warlord Black | 5.10 | | Black IPA style. Anonymous in so far as Purity name not shown on clip, indeed no provenance suggested |
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Coaster (or Cornish Coaster) | 3.60 | Not Tried |
13 Oct 2013 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tiny Rebel - Urban IPA | 5.50 | | An intriguing and clever hop blend balance. Best Tiny Rebel I have had to date |
| Hastings - Handmade No. 5 Hop-Forward Pale Ale (Galaxy) | 4.80 | | Almost impossible to read abv on clip as reversed out in black in miniature script. Natural and unfined as are all Hastings's brews |
| Big Penny (formerly Truman's) as of late 2022 contract brewed - Attaboy | 4.60 | | Orange cuitrus notes but got rather cloying |
| Adnams - Lighthouse | 3.40 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Lewisham, Greater London, SE13 6NR.
Formerly The Coach & Horses and recently re-opened as part of the "Antic Collective". A large pub in Lewisham High Street, just south of the Ladywell baths complex and H.E. Olby's Plumbing Centre. One very large bar area with lots of floor space. One feature of the newly re-opened house is an array of 5 handpumps and the introduction of a gamut of guest beers from London and more widespread and the sale of a hand pumped cider. A welcome addition to the Lewisham real ale scene. Has a bar billiards table in use and a table football table. Regular live bands play and a small dancing area is provided. Antic closed the pub on 30th October 2016 in "preparation" for its opening of a currently closed pub in the Lewisham market area.
We have visited this pub 183 times, seen 307 different beers and tried 184 of them.
