Evening until close. A busy night here.
| Itchen Valley - Citra Hop | 3.80 |  | |

| Ascot - Aureole Ale | 4.00 | | A cornucopia of hop nose and taste |
| Peerless - Fusion | 3.50 | | In superb condition but too much of a lemon juice in the face beer for me |

Rare afternoon visit shortly after opening, to celebrate a dentist's check up. Guv was playing at Olympia GBBF but the fort was well held by his full match sub.

02 Jul 2015 (Philip Pirrip)
After an afternoon £3 local haircut and Bexleyheath chores and nosh where better to go and find it difficult to escape from (Alcatraz of S.E. London innit some opine).
| Wantsum - Ravening Wolf | 5.90 | | Better than the fresh one on Saturday. An early turn postman seemed to want to empty the cask single-handed before he went home |
| Kent - Pale | 4.00 | | As reliable as the cuckoo's appearance in spring |
| Goody Ales - Bleangate Brewery - Genesis | 3.50 | | Preview pint - full bodied for 3.5% |
| Dark Star - American Pale Ale (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 4.70 | | Preview pint - perhaps a tad fresh |
