| Brockley - Golden Ale | 3.80 | Not Tried |
21 Aug 2018 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until 11pm close. Much teasing about the 4 Pour brewery mis-spelling on the pin board. Also tried a Kernel Biere de Saison damson style keg beer at 4.4%, tongue striping sourness.

| Siren Craft - Broken Dream Breakfast Stout | 6.50 | | Crowned CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain 2018 last week and the pub had been storing a cask of this in the cellar awaiting cooler weather. How fortuitous |

Evening visit until 11pm close. Also had a Siren Craft keg Spin Botany Gin & Tonic Gose at 3.6% - an alleged "sour" but not tongue strippingly so at all.

The pub is found in Eltham, Greater London, SE9 5PR.
In Court Yard just off the High Street the former Crown pub has been part transformed following a wider development of the entire premises. A small bar, along the lines of the micropub style, which opened in April 2018 selling cask ales and ciders / perries served on gravity dispense from a cooled small walk-in cellar room behind the bar counter and with 18 keg beer taps on the back wall too. Seating is at trestle style tables and low chairs. The original ground floor pub frontage has been retained. Card payment only, no cash accepted.
We have visited this pub 95 times, seen 147 different beers and tried 80 of them.
