Late evening visit, so easy off one bus to catch another. Hoping to find the Bad Seed beer and it was on.

Bad Seed - Become the Legend (collaboration with Wild Weather)3.90GoodThe infamous rhubarb and hibiscus grisette. Any grisette sourness balanced with the rhubarb fruitiness

Brief bus change visit late evening. One of the coming soons is Bad Seed's collaboration with Wild Weather for a rhubarb & hibiscus grisette, on mid-week probably and an intriguing beer description. Where do these concoctions all end?

BeerABVScoreNotes
Wylam - Cascade4.10ExcellentWylam puts degrees Plato on its pumpclips, must look up what it means. Well I have now and "Plato gravity scale is a measurement of the concentration of dissolved solids in a brewery wort. Degrees Plato (°P) is used to quantify the concentration of extract (mainly sugars derived from malt but also including other soluble material in wort) as a percentage by weight."

BeerABVScoreNotes
Arbor Ales - Dunning-Kruger4.80ExcellentIn the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias wherein people of low ability suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their cognitive ability as greater than it is. Me perhaps after that 7.4% at The Long Pond earlier?

The pub is found in Lewisham, Greater London, SE13 6AA.

In the street market area of Lewisham High Street, a pub that has had many names, most recently The Market Tavern. After a long period of closure, renovated to open on 23rd November 2017 and named after a previous occupant whose name was uncovered on the front fascia signage during building works. Typical Antic Group shabby chic decor and furnishings including the middle of the floor occupied by some old radiograms. Wooden tiled floor throughout and mainly bare brick walls. The bar counter top is made from snooker table slate with the corner pockets clearly identifiable. Kitchen and food to be added in 2019 (promises, promises) and eventually fulfilled by a weekend pop-up kitchen facility which then ceased, after some months, in December 2019 then a new operator surfaced in late January 2020. 5 handpumps. Closed about the time of the Covid-19 pandemic start and subsequently all furnishings and bar counters removed.

We have visited this pub 119 times, seen 138 different beers and tried 94 of them.
