17 Nov 2016 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until 10pm close.

09 Nov 2016 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until 10pm close. Only one in for the last hour.
| Westerham - Family Stout | 4.50 | | |
| Pig & Porter - Natural Privileges (collaboration with Blackjack) | 5.20 |  | A dark bitter, an apparent collaboration with Blackjack but why does the clip not tell us where it was brewed and the parts played by the participants. Without that it is pure marketing bumph and borders on being somewhat deceptive |
| G2 - Crux | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
01 Nov 2016 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until 10pm close.
| Brew Buddies - PA03 Cascade Sybilla Pale Ale | 4.30 | | Unfined, bland |
| Billericay (large volume beers brewed at Brentwood) - Woody's Wag | 4.20 | Not Tried | Heavily coffee flavoured, several customers left half of theirs unfinished |
| Saffron - Saint Clement's | 5.90 | Not Tried | |
24 Oct 2016 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until 10pm close.
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - Green Hop Black | 3.70 | | Well hopped stout |
| Harwich Town - Global's Make Some Noise | 4.00 | | A charity brew |
| Saffron - Saint Clement's | 5.90 | Not Tried | |
19 Oct 2016 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until 10pm close.
| Kent - Zingiber | 4.10 | | |
| Billericay (large volume beers brewed at Brentwood) - Autumn Rye | 4.70 | | Good dry bittered rye ale |
| Milestone - Loxley Ale | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
14 Oct 2016 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until 10pm close to complete Bexley CAMRA Branch cider trail. Franklins Farmhouse OK and Mr Whitehead's Blackberry nicely dry.
| Kent - Green Giant | 6.00 |  | Faultless and so innocent |
| Pig & Porter - Fatal Flaw American Amber | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Saffron - Dawn 'Til Dusk | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
04 Oct 2016 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until 10pm close and a bit.
| Kelham Island (probably brewed by Thornbridge now) - Pale Rider | 5.20 | | Very last out of the cask and still top notch |
| Westerham - 1965 Special Bitter Ale | 4.80 | | |
| Pig & Porter / Weird Beard Collaboration - Weird Pig | 5.50 | | Described as a style called California Common. Clip gives no information as to which kit the beer was brewed on and what precise part the two participants played in the collaboration so I take it to be no better than a marketing fad |
| Pig & Porter - Dance First | 4.20 | | Lots of taste but flatter than a pancake run over by an artic |
27 Sep 2016 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until a most elastic 10pm close.
| Skinner's (now brewed by Goodh) - Betty Stogs Bitter | 4.00 | | Ran out later |
| Titanic - Plum Porter | 4.90 | | A must have whenever I see it |
| Blue Monkey - Funky Gibbon (previously called Sanctuary) | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
