31 Jan 2017 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until 10pm close. The Guv and one of his regular barmen were holidaying here tonight.
| Hop Stuff - Spiced Chai Red | 5.40 |  | Not just brewed for the Spoon's London Beer Festival it would seem. Reddish in colour and distinctly teaey |
| Caveman (latterly a cuckoo at Leatherbritches) - Neanderthal | 4.40 |  | OK and a bit flat. Earlier this had been an explosive cask before broaching! |

12 Jan 2017 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until 10pm close. Reported here that the Tankleys on Monday night sold out within less than an hour and was brewed at UBREW so I suppose has cuckoo status.

04 Jan 2017 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until just before 10pm close. Last one in at the end. Tried a Turners Apple Pie Cider at 4%, very authentic liquid pie with cloves overtones.
| Bexley - BOB (Bexley's Own Beer) | 4.20 |  | Good flavour but rather flattish |
| Mighty Oak - Elfin Safety | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
| Brew Buddies - ST01 Dry Hopped Oatmeal Stout | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Tankleys (cuckoo at Beerblefish) - Golden Ale | 4.50 | Not Tried | On the coming soon board. This is a new cuckoo brewery based in Sidcup and the beer will be launched here at 7pm on Monday 9th January. I hope its true provenance will soon become apparent |
29 Dec 2016 (Philip Pirrip)
