Evening visit. Looks like a departure from the £4.75pp across the board cask pricing in now in action.

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

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 97 times, seen 118 different beers and tried 84 of them.
