| BrewDog - Punk IPA | 6.00 | | Very fizzy.. Continuous thick creamy head which just kept on growing! |
| Boggart - Rum Porter | 4.60 | | Rum is one of my favourites and this just had a great aroma but it didnt over power the pint. I drank the pin in about 3 minutes.. Very drinkable! |

Most people outside on a hot Saturday afternoon so plenty of room in the air conditioned interior.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fyne - Cairn Dhu 60/- | 3.30 | | A good find here, a rare Scottish 60/- mild ale. True to syle with low hoppiness and a good sweet malty character. My score 16/20. |
| Westerham - Single Hop Cascade | 4.00 | | Another in the Single Hop Varietal series, this is Westerham's take on the likes of Hophead and JHB and the best I have tasted so far. An excellent juicy hop flavour balanced perfectly by sweeter toffee malt flavours to give a good balance of flavours. My score 16/20. |
| Marston's - Merrie Monk | 4.50 | | Red/brown mild with sweetish fruity apple flavours and little or no hoppiness. My score 15/20. |

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 In 2019 the real ale choice was drastically reduced to 4 and the cider was withdrawn.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.
