Fairly empty on an early Tuesday evening. Although both handpumps had pumpclips (the second beer is Brew Wharf Bitter at 3.6%) only the Brew Wharf Best was on. This was formerly titled No.3 Wharf Beer. Service can be slow, but the choice of Meantime beers is good

Beer	ABV	Score	Notes
Brew Wharf - Best	4.20		Golden colour. Thin white head, citric flowery hop aroma. Fine in mouth with some biscuity malt. Quite sharp too with drying tangy hop finish. Better than 1st time I tried it. Very astringent hop finish
Meantime - Raspberry Wheat Beer	5.00	Not Tried	Very popular

Early Friday evening and there were a fair few people here. Still feels more like a bar than a pub, but at least the service seems to have settled down a bit. This was the first day for selling their own brew Goldings beer according to the barman, so I was fairly excited to be having something completely new. Also stocks most of the Meantime range on tap or in bottle

Brew Wharf - Best	4.20		According to the barman, this was the first day that they had sold this beer. They intend to brew 2 beers, one hopped with Goldings and one with Fuggles. Gold colour with no head. Nice distinctive Goldings aroma which is floral and with some toffee. Bit thin in mouth, very little carbonation. Floral aromatic hop finish is nice though. The body of the beer needs some work

Many of the tables were taken mid Saturday afternoon. I sat at the bar and talked to the bar manager about the beers. Their own brew ones were due on sometime in the next week. Selection of Meantime beers was good. Rested here after visiting Utobeer market stall in Borough Market. A must for any lover of beer.

Beer	ABV	Score	Notes
Meantime - Union	4.90		Dark brown, chestnut colour, lasting light beige head. Really nice malty aroma with red fruits and toffee. These flavours carry on to the finish which is very drying and gives good balance to the toffee
Meantime - Raspberry Wheat Beer	5.00	Not Tried
Meantime - Pilsner	5.40	Not Tried
Meantime - Kolsch	5.00	Not Tried	Barman gave me a taste of this. Quite yeasty, but refreshing beer.
