16 Jul 2018 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until 11pm close. Tempted, for a last knocking's treat, by an 8% keg Deya Falling Into Place, honestly a disappointing oily DIPA with lemon juice domination so not really a treat at all. £5.50 a half shows the craft beer market's view of its own self-importance.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | | Lacking a buzzy mouthfeel |
| Great Heck - Voodoo Mild | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Park - Summer Pale | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
| Pig & Porter - Lost Colony | 4.80 | Not Tried |

Evening until close, whenever quite that was. Also tried a pint of a fizz beer from local Villages brewery.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Northern Monk - Eternal Session IPA | 4.10 | | A murky murk somewhat resembling a smoothie. I found this a slow drinking chore |
| Pig & Porter - Slave to the Money | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Big Smoke - Solaris v3.0 | 3.80 | Not Tried | I suspect I never had v2.0! |

| Big Smoke - Sunshower | 4.70 | | |
| Tiny Rebel - $ertified $imcoe (Sertified Simcoe) | 4.00 | Not Tried | Taster was pretty insipid and lacking the mouthfeel that might have made this single hopper appetising |

Evening visit until 11pm close. The lady Guv was ribbed for doing too much tidying. The Guv has started trialling his race spile on his first cask.

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.
