BeerABVScoreNotes
Abbeydale - Moonshine4.30GoodImpressed that once again half a pint was pulled off and discarded as had been a while since previous sale
11 Aug 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit. Neither handpump in use but Guv agreed to put one on. Pulled through water then first pint out.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Abbeydale - Moonshine4.30GoodFresh and refreshing, slight haze but probably be peak tomorrow

Early evening visit after local chores. Lady co-owner's birthday. This has become a vipers' nest of hazy beers - looking around every keg drinker was on the hazy stuff.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Solvay Society - Spéciale (collaboration with Leigh on Sea)4.80GoodFrench wording on pumpclip. Very hazy without point of sale warning but OK with some sort of alleged Belgian bitter taste. Rather cloying

Evening visit.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Iron Pier - Long Ferry3.90AcceptableImpressed when half was pulled off and thrown away before my pint pulled. Alas pint had a slight haze I would not have expected but tasted OK
23 Jul 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Early evening visit after local shopping chores. Seems to be concentrating on just one cask ale at moment despite two handpumps. Almost all customers seem entranced by the 20 keg taps. Gawd knows why.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Elusive - Level Up : American Red Level 27 : Citra & Galaxy5.00AcceptableOK but more condition would have enhanced it
21 Jul 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit. All tables taken. So far here only once have I not had to ask for a top up.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Torrside - Yellow Peak4.20AcceptableNeeded to be slightly cooler, lost most condition almost immediately in the glass
17 Jul 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Had to blag an after closing time pint having been told emphatically the previous week it would close at 10 it had closed at 9. The sooner properly advertised hours are displayed the better.
BeerABVScoreNotes
North Riding Brewery - Oat Pale (collaboration with Mill Hill)4.00ExcellentThoroughly enjoyable on a balmy night
15 Jul 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until close. Sat and contemplated this new venue and realised that, as so often happens, no consideration has been given to soft furnishings and sound baffling to soften the noise. Needs some retrofitting in what is otherwise a large box of hard surfaces.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Abbeydale - Moonshine4.30GoodSlight haze
Burning Sky - Day by Day (collaboration with Elusive)5.40GoodVery full bodied
14 Jul 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until close. Immediate conversation with a couple about beer scoring and how Good Beer Guide pubs are selected.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Burning Sky - Day by Day (collaboration with Elusive)5.40GoodRather cloying ESB but good temperature and condition
Abbeydale - Moonshine4.30Not Tried

The pub is found in Blackheath, Greater London, SE3 7AA.

A pub and small brewery venture in the Royal Standard area of Blackheath in Vanbrugh Park. It is a conversion of the previous imposing Barclays Bank building. It is the brainchild of the Common Rioters Brewery. Soft openings on 8th and 9th July 2022 to test systems and logistics then open from 13th July 2022. 20 wall keg taps on white tiled bar back wall and 2 handpumps on the basic wooden bar counter. The brewery is visible from inside the bar room at the far right hand end but at autumn 2024 is still not operative. Seating is at low tables and chairs. Emphasis is clearly on keg sales at the usual higher prices for them. Card payment only, cash not accepted. Initially open Wednesday to Sunday only, now Tuesday too.

We have visited this pub 91 times, seen 107 different beers and tried 77 of them.
