Quiet and, to be honest, a little bleak after the huge initial crowds of last week. Now has a sign advising ‘no drinks outside’.

Beer	ABV	Score	Notes
Kernel (The Kernel) - IPA Stella	6.70		From key keg. It is a strong-willed drinker who can resist a beer on the bar from The Kernel, and I’m not one of them. A cloudy orange colour. Initial, short, fruity taste – then massively bitter tastes from Australian Stella hops, with a very long finish. Only natural carbonation.
Adnams - Fat Sprat	3.80		Red/amber in colour. Sweetish malt tastes and light, citrusy hops.
Bristol Beer Factory - Milk Stout	4.50	Not Tried
Buxton - Moor Top	3.60	Not Tried
Moor - Nor'Hop	4.10	Not Tried
Tiny Rebel - Billabong Aussie Summer Ale	4.60	Not Tried

Early evening and more people out on the pavement than inside. Sensible Euston Tap level prices will do well here. An instant success I'd say. At least one face from the Euston Tap serving here.

Opening night and it turns out to be free beer from 5pm to 7pm – I’m in time to catch the back end of this freebie. A welcome arrival of a specialist beer bar in the City.

Beer	ABV	Score	Notes
Buxton - Imperial Black	7.50		On some kind of low pressure keg dispense. Lush, black IPA.
Moor - Nor'Hop	4.10		An excellent, golden, hoppy beer.
Tiny Rebel - Billabong Aussie Summer Ale	4.60		A pale beer. Just a little bit tame in comparison to the two other beers drunk here.
Buxton - Moor Top	3.60	Not Tried

The pub is found in City, Central London, EC4N 6AP.

A newly established pub on Dowgate Hill in a large railway arch, deep beneath Cannon Street terminus railway station. Next door, up the hill, to Cannon Bridge House. Opened on 19 June 2013. This pub is sister to the Euston Tap and the Holborn Whippet and has a similar bar, with both cask and keg beers served from taps in the back wall. More spacious than either of the other two mentioned bars. 6 cask taps and 14 keg ones. A canoe hangs from the ceiling. The pub name relates to the fact that the livery hall of the Skinners’ Company is just across the road – and indeed there was once a pub here called the Skinners Arms. Limited food available such as pizzas which may be ordered and are then shipped in by an outside supplier.

We have visited this pub 33 times, seen 109 different beers and tried 53 of them.
