30 Jan 2017 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until midnight close. Here to try out a London Beer Festival beer or two.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cronx - Kotchin | 3.90 | | The first was 4* then the others that tad cooler so 4½* beers, best Cronx I have had, this was subtle, smooth and very potable so I got stuck into it |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | "It's off" when a customer asked. Why oh why is Spoon's pretty much the only pub operator to always be showing clips for beers which it is not able to treat with? |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Ruddles Best (was 3.7%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |

Evening until midnight close. Waste of space cask ale range tonight so Thistly Cross whisky cask cider once more persuaded itself into my glass.

Evening until midnight close. The beer range lead me to quaff a cider named after some old steamroller or other.

The pub is found in Lewisham, Greater London, SE13 6JP.
A busy pub in Lewisham High Street that's small by Wetherspoon's standards. Bookshelves around internal pillars make views across the floor difficult. A bit like a chameleon it changes clientele during its long day, attracting market folk whilst the street market is open then a mixed group of faces later on. Here staff do get to know their customers. Sports 2 banks each of 6 handpumps.
We have visited this pub 542 times, seen 831 different beers and tried 362 of them.
