| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burning Sky - Plateau (was 3.5%) | 3.40 | | |
| Kissingate - Powder Blue | 5.50 | | £4.50 pp. Flat. Disappointing Blueberry Porter, Titanic Plum remains the yardstick |

Evening. Brighton as it should be on a Bank Holiday weekend - brash, noisy, boisterous, thriving.

Evening. Still loud, brash and lively. Good feel.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burning Sky - Devil's Rest IPA | 7.00 | | Disguised its strength, a good dry IPA. Should have ensured oversleeping Thameslink to Bedford but it didn't |

A pleasant, multi-roomed pub with a pleasing line-up of local beers. But, mindful of Philip Pirrip’s less than gushing reviews, I cautiously ordered a couple of halves. Just as well they were not full pints, as beer condition was very disappointing.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Moon - Hopdance | 3.90 | | Pale and citrus-hoppy, but warm and a bit flat. |
| Long Man - Best Bitter | 4.00 | | Copper-coloured, warm and a bit sour. |
| Dark Star - American Pale Ale (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Heritage (formerly William Worthington Brewery) - E | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| Long Man - Long Blonde | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| King Beer (formerly W.J. King) - Sussex Downs Ale | 5.10 | Not Tried |

Last knockings for me but still new customers arriving as sounded as if some live music was on here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long Man - Long Blonde | 3.80 | | |
| Long Man - Best Bitter | 4.00 | | Asked for a taster which made me splutter so declined a larger measure |
| Dark Star - American Pale Ale (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Dark Star - Golden Gate | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Heritage (formerly William Worthington Brewery) - E | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| King Beer (formerly W.J. King) - Sussex Downs Ale | 5.10 | Not Tried |

Have walked by many a time - always loud music emanating. Was tempted this time as Long Man Brewery beers were being touted.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long Man - Long Blonde | 3.80 | | Refreshing but still not fully conditioned |
| Long Man - Best Bitter | 4.00 |  | As sour as old Harry. Exchanged for another choice without ado, pump clip turned round, pipes pulled through and a new cask placed. |
| Dark Star - American Pale Ale (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Dark Star - Golden Gate | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Arundel - Stronghold | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Heritage (formerly William Worthington Brewery) - E | 4.80 | Not Tried | Who, what, where, how, why is this brewed? |

The pub is found in Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 4ED.
A pub that is as near to being underneath Brighton railway station as one can get in Trafalgar Street (No 48). Transforms from office workers at lunchtimes to students and music enthusiasts in the evening. Out front seated drinking area. A multi-room Victorian pub which has 6 handpumps on the bar counter. For a long time it has been a music venue but more latterly has offered a good range of real ales too. 50p per pint CAMRA discount on real ales.
We have visited this pub 28 times, seen 61 different beers and tried 20 of them.
