| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1648 - Cruella | 4.30 | | A dark IPA style beer, huge amounts of citrus hop and some malt flavours too. Very full flavoured. My score 16/20. |
| Tap East - Nut Brown Ale | 3.40 | | A weaker version of the nut brown, which was actually more amber in colour. Quite bitter with a little citrus hop character. An interesting beer but not really a nut brown. My score 15/20. |

Jam-packed full in the little bar and the little heated-terrace outside.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arbor Ales - Junga | 6.50 | | Another single-varietal hop beer from Arbor. Not a hop I’d heard of before either. Pale gold in colour and noticeably high alcohol. Oily, citrusy hop. |
| Oakham - Preacher | 4.30 | | An amber bitter, very much in the Oakham style. Quite hoppy. |
| Oldershaw - Mowbray's Mash | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
| Oldershaw - Blonde Volupta | 5.00 | Not Tried |
24 Jan 2012 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arbor Ales - Single Hop - Newport | 4.00 | | Very pale in colour with sweetish citrus hop flavours leading to a dry, bitter finish. The hop character is probably of Eastern European origin. My score 15/20. |
31 Dec 2011 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - Baby Belma | 4.00 | | Pale bitter brewed with a new and exclusive hop variety. Very hoppy with a citrus bite leaving a dry, citrus aftertaste. My score 15/20. |

Full of young people enjoying good ale. Damn it-I'm middle aged and I love good beer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - Winter Meltdown | 5.00 | | A good complex amber ale to finish off the afternoon's entertainment. |
| Titanic - Engine Room | 4.60 | | Quite a heavy pale 'n'hoppy, but not firing on all cylinders I'm afraid. |
| Inveralmond - Independence | 3.80 | Not Tried |

Tail end of Cornish beer festival with a few still available outside.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Driftwood Spars - Dêk Hop | 3.80 | | Pale but rather bitter and unbalanced with a slightly phenolic taste. My score 12/20. |
| Driftwood Spars - Red Mission | 4.00 | | Dark amber coloured brew with a predominately bitter flavour leading to a very dry, astringent finish. My score 13/20. |

I had been to the Cask and Kitchen and heard that there was an IPA festival on here. As well as the three hand pumps on the bar there were 10 firkins in the courtyard.

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oldershaw - Heavenly Blonde | 3.80 | | Plenty of bitter citrus hoppiness in this pale blonde beer. Some malt balance leading to a fruity, citrus hop finish. My score 15/20. |

Fourth pub of crawl. Things finally looking up, great beer at proper temperature. Was hard to move on from here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | | |
| Brodie's (latterly contract brewed by Rhymney) - California | 5.30 | | This was so much better than at the Dean Swift earlier, and all because of the serving temperature. |
| Windsor & Eton - Knight of the Garter | 3.80 | |

The pub is found in Southwark, Central London, SE1 9AG.
Small pub on the north side of Borough Market run by the same people who own the Utobeer bottled beer stall in the market itself. The bar has 3 hand pulls serving UK cask beers and 6 taps supplying continental and world beers. An extensive bottle beer selection is also available from the fridges behind the bar. The bar has stripped wood floors, pale beige walls and a historic Pilkington glass ceiling. A decked patio provides extra space and seating. Definitely an excellent addition to the Southwark beer scene.
We have visited this pub 151 times, seen 348 different beers and tried 249 of them.
