Evening visit.

Clarkshaws - Cloudy beer drinking smokerati5.00Good10th anniversary brewery brew with limited distribution. Did exactly what the name said as a smoked porter. One was enough
Cloudwater - Meadow3.00Not Tried

Evening visit.

Track - Sonoma3.80GoodDifficult to judge the condition of this murk of a beer. Held reasonable head and lacing but I have no idea what it is meant to be
27 Jul 2023 (Philip Pirrip)
Early evening visit. I looked round and noticed almost every beer customer was drinking murky beer. Who started this awful trend and why, it made me wonder. Just one of the two handpumps in use still.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Duration - Ambition4.40AcceptableA murky pint with little malt or hops flavouring identifiable. Just wet alcohol. I don't accept this stuff as beer

Evening visit. Second handpump repaired but one cask only on as a usual Wednesday.

Lakes - Pale Ale (was 3.5%)3.40GoodTasty brew that could have been cooler to improve it

Evening in and out visit. No cask on - staff said the Kernel Table Beer, for which a pump clip was turned round, had not been right.

Evening visit.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Duration - Another Day Done4.40AcceptableI suppose this was in OK condition but who knows when served as a milk shake looking murk. The tasting notes said "pours bright with light haze" and that was patently wrong for this pint pulled
15 Jun 2023 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit. Still just one handpump in use with the other awaiting spare parts for repair.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Mallinsons - Mandarina Bavaria4.00GoodAlways professional brews from Mallinsons

Evening visit. Looks like a departure from the £4.75pp across the board cask pricing in now in action.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Left Handed Giant - Sing Loud (collaboration with Fyne)5.50GoodA well balanced full bodied mid brown jobbie - very enjoyable slow drinker
Siren Craft - White Tips4.50Not TriedOne definitely not for me
28 May 2023 (Philip Pirrip)
Late evening visit until a bank holiday Sunday extended closing time. Soon, though, the only punter in. As a nightcap here tried a fizz The Kernel 6.5% Bitter Simonds 1880, an old recipe re-creation - held little head or lacing at all.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Marble - Modus Mosaic3.40AcceptableA thin brew probably been in pipes for a while
25 May 2023 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit. Only one handpump in use as the other has a broken cylinder.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Squawk - Pavo - Pale Ale3.80GoodNicely balanced, none of the harsh citrus tones I had feared

The pub is found in Blackheath, Greater London, SE3 7AA.

A pub and small brewery venture in the Royal Standard area of Blackheath in Vanbrugh Park. It is a conversion of the previous imposing Barclays Bank building. It is the brainchild of the Common Rioters Brewery. Soft openings on 8th and 9th July 2022 to test systems and logistics then open from 13th July 2022. 20 wall keg taps on white tiled bar back wall and 2 handpumps on the basic wooden bar counter. The brewery is visible from inside the bar room at the far right hand end but at autumn 2024 is still not operative. Seating is at low tables and chairs. Emphasis is clearly on keg sales at the usual higher prices for them. Card payment only, cash not accepted. Initially open Wednesday to Sunday only, now Tuesday too.

We have visited this pub 94 times, seen 112 different beers and tried 81 of them.
