Visits Details
07 Aug 2023 (Philip Pirrip)
Last knockings visit until a premature kick out with a klaxon and fire evacuation of the building after two sips - with beer finished on the pavement on the opposite side of George Street. Added to the very limited ale range, due to line cleaning, a sour end to the drinking day.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | | Tasted very fresh, £1.71pp for thin gruel ruined by being ripped through a pouring restrictor too |
| Wimbledon - Common Pale Ale | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
| Twickenham (also uses sub-brand Old Hands) - Red Sky | 4.10 | Not Tried |
