Robert was on a mission to stock up his beer cupboard with bottles and we stayed for a few quick ones and an excellent pork steak roll.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew By Numbers - 03/06 Porter: Simcoe Centennial | 6.00 | | A delicious, hoppy Porter. |
| Brew By Numbers - Session 4: Hoppy Session Pale | 4.00 | | A collaboration brew with Belgium’s de la Senne. Tasted to me like a Berliner Weiss or a Gose. Challenging. Sharp and a little sour and a little bit salty. |
| Brew By Numbers - 05/17 India Pale Ale: Simcoe Citra Chinook | 6.50 | | Hazy gold colour. Very bitter US hop combination. |

I didn’t realise that this brewery bar does not open in the evenings until 6pm, so when I walked in on the dot of six I became the first customer of the day. 7 or 8 draught beers available.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew By Numbers - 05/15 India Pale Ale: Citra Azacca | 6.00 | | I feel that I hardly need say that this is an unfiltered, golden beer with a very high hop content. |
| Brew By Numbers - 01/16 – Saison: Rakau | 5.50 | | Cloudy and pale gold. Full-on sourness. Interesting fruit flavours. |

Early evening and the Taproom here is fairly quiet. If anyone thinks I’ve been spending too much time in Bermondsey of late, they are right.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew By Numbers - 24/02 Amber Ale: Multigrain | 3.80 | | On key-keg dispense. Amber in colour. This is how to do a malt-forward beer. |
| Brew By Numbers - 03/05 Porter: Willamette & Centennial | 6.40 | | On key-keg dispense. Black. Quite dry, with lots of roast barley. But it is also smooth and full of tasty hops. |

Last quick brewery visit before dashing off to the football. Quite a crowd in here. wide range of beers available from key keg or bottle.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew By Numbers - 15/01 Black IPA – Yakima Valley | 6.10 | | On key keg dispense. Fab Black IPA. |

Lunchtime and a steady flow of customers. A massive 26 different home-brewed beers to chose between today.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew By Numbers - 01/09 Saison – Hibiscus & Chamomile | 5.80 | | On ‘keg’ dispense. Pinkish-tinged amber in colour. Unconventional flavourings for a beer, but, like everything they do here, it seems to work. |
| Brew By Numbers - 11/06 Session IPA – Simcoe | 4.60 | | On ‘keg’ dispense. Hazy gold in colour and very lush. |

Just a flying, lunchtime visit as both of us had to away to our respective football matches. Quite busy in the brewery, with drizzle deterring anyone from sitting outside.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew By Numbers - 55/01 Jensen | 6.00 | | On ‘keg’ dispense. Another Gin Saison. This one has simply had a bottle of Jensen Gin glugged into it, rather than the more deconstructed approach taken by Meantime in their similar beer (where the gin botanicals were added as flavouring rather than the gin itself). Still very lovely nonetheless. |

Busy at lunchtime (I dined on Scotch egg). Lots of pallets have been placed outside to sit on and take advantage of the sunny weather.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew By Numbers - 01/03 Saison Cucumber & Juniper | 5.20 | | On key keg dispense. Pale golden and hazy. Cucumber flavours very obvious, juniper much more subtle. Lovely. |
| Brew By Numbers - Brown Ale: Bramling X & Columbus | 6.40 | | On key keg dispense. A strong, heavy malt, Brown Ale with bramble hints. |

I was the first customer of the day, a few minutes after 11am opening, but a steady trickle soon started arriving. Four different beers available on key-keg today, supplemented by a selection of bottles.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew By Numbers - 03/02 Porter Liberty | 5.70 | | From key-keg. I was impressed by this black, hoppy Porter. |
| Brew By Numbers - 99/01 Experimental Saison | 5.60 | | From key-keg. Golden and slightly hazy. A crisp Saison with some sourness, some spice and some orangey tones. |

The same group of drinkers from Birmingham who were at The Kernel have arrived here, giving the bar a busy air before noon. Four or five beers available from key-keg, with the whole dispense method on full view to reassure those who think there is somehow an addition of gas in this technology.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew By Numbers - 02/01 Golden Ale – Motueka & Pacific Jade | 5.40 | | On key-keg dispense. This is rather lovely. |
| Brew By Numbers - 01/08 Saison – Wai-Iti & Lemon | 6.20 | | On key-keg dispense. Distinctly lemony, a bit sour and very refreshing. |

The pub is found in Bermondsey, Central London, SE16 3RA.
A Bermondsey micro-brewery in Enid Street, established in late-2012. The majority of production is bottled, with an increasing amount going in to key-keg and now also cans. The brewery is situated in two railway arches and has an expanded bar area which opens between 11am and 4pm on Saturdays, as well as on Friday evenings. All beers are numbered, the numbers representing the style followed by the recipe. So, 02/04 would be style number two (Golden Ale), recipe number 4. By 2019 a single handpump had been installed. Closed May 2023 as part of company's financial restructuring.
We have visited this pub 29 times, seen 76 different beers and tried them all.
