After midnight so a Saturday visit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Cheddar - Goat's Leap | 5.50 | | The clip called it an IPA. Overriding orange tones reminded me of the excellent (but weaker) Green Jack Orange Wheat |

2335 hours visit. Still a few in.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harviestoun - Wild Hop IPA | 4.20 | | Bit of a disappointment. Clearly tasted as intended but from web browse I think Harviestoun have brewed this beer at about 1% more in the past. It lacked the full flavour expected of an IPA |
| Pin-Up - Milk Stout | 4.50 | | OK and true to type but not one to have more than one of |
| Ramsbury - Sunsplash | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Harbour - Light Ale | 3.70 | Not Tried |

One minute past midnight so that just makes it Sunday. Slowly emptying from Saturday night as the customers tire.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| By The Horns - Diamond Geezer | 4.90 | | Absolutely excellent with the head and the beer merging into a oneness of full bodied flavour |
| Pin-Up - Milk Stout | 4.50 | | Not many Milk Stouts around. A good example but too rich a flavour to have a second |
| Pitfield's - Hewitt's Opus No. 5 | 6.50 | Not Tried | The word on the street is that this is still being brewed in Essex by Pitfield |

2350 hours visit so just still Saturday.

| Tiny Rebel - The Full Nelson | 4.80 | | 2nd one was 5 star. It was more chilled but this is a beer that can take chilling |
| Tiny Rebel - The Full Nelson | 4.80 | | 1st one very flavourable |

Arrival just after midnight until last knockings. A fine band with jazz, rock and pop assembly playing and customers dancing. Towards 0100 hours volumes of shots in various amazing guises were being consumed.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| By The Horns - Lambeth Walk | 5.10 | | This was a food tonight |
| Moor - So'Hop | 4.10 | | Pumpclip labelled as this version being unfined. Refreshing brew |
| Tiny Rebel - Chocoholic | 6.80 | | Stout infused with Belgian chocolate. Had only a taster - VERY rich but as it was not moving was not cool enough to be for this fellow today |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | Not Tried | |
| By The Horns - Bobby on the Wheat | 4.70 | Not Tried |

Just got inside before the Summer 'eavens opened. Very personable staff always here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| RedWillow - Smokeless | 5.70 | | A grows on you sort of taste. The one o'clock close bell curtailed my Redwillowing activities |
| Devilfish - Apachi | 5.00 | | Last full pint out of the cask but superbly heavy citrus hop tones with a smooth feel. A shame it ran out and the next customer got just about a half |

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.
