Very late afternoon. It is natural that a nearby £3 haircut should be followed by a £3 pint. Left as the Welling Utd. home local derby game crowd was beginning to assemble.
| Kent - Session Pale | 3.70 |  | |
| Mighty Oak - Trail Ale | 4.30 |  | One of the problems of Mighty Oak is its ever changing beer names. No idea why. Anyway this was a bit of a sour wet dog taste - a newly served cask. Guv at pub took it off sale for return as he was not happy with it |
| Mauldons - Bronze Adder | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
26 Sep 2014 (Philip Pirrip)

| Goody Ales - Bleangate Brewery - Genesis | 3.50 | | Superbly presented. Full of flavour and hop bite for a 3.5%er |
| Pig & Porter - Ashburnham Pale Ale | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Dent - Fellranger | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
25 Sep 2014 (Philip Pirrip)

CAMRA's formal press release today makes The Door Hinge the Greater London Regional Pub of the Year 2014. Now into the last 16 UK (and Jersey)-wide. Could it take this year's crown?
29 Aug 2014 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until close.
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | | Disillusioned with Hophead these days but this was cracking. Probably only The Harp at Charing Cross would match the head on this pint. 4½* marking |

| Great Heck - Powermouse | 3.60 | Not Tried | |
