Evening visit.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Cloudwater - Happy Easy Pale (was 3.5%)3.40GoodVenue called it a table beer. Certainly lacked any body or depth. Probably good condition but all it had was a milky scrumpy murk look. Would def not want a second as bit of a nothing

Evening visit on a special Monday opening for bank holiday. Soon speaking to loads of people!
BeerABVScoreNotes
Three Blind Mice - Old Brown Mouse4.20ExcellentExcellent dark brown best bitter
Pomona Island - Chubby Rain4.20ExcellentAs murky as scrumpy cider mixed with milk but for once I enjoyed same as it did not have those awful citrus overtones. Well balanced

Evening visit on a bus change. I know there is unfinished work here but please please do add some soft furnishings and sound baffling on the ceiling. First time I have sat across a table to someone here and we could hardly hear ourselves with the echoing sounds unless we shouted.

Early evening visit after completion of local chores.
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

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 96 times, seen 121 different beers and tried 84 of them.
