Late evening visit until close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tonbridge - Coppernob | 3.80 | | Rather a floral hopping |
| 360° - Double Act | 4.50 | | Heavy hazy pale which was drunk with hardly noticing, just a relief it was only a fairly subdued lemon juicer job |
| Hammerton - Cache | 3.50 | Not Tried | |
| Park - Isabella | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| London Beer Lab - Stout | 5.20 | Not Tried |
03 Jan 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Late evening visit until close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hammerton - N7 | 5.20 | | A fool mouthful of taste |
| Downlands (formerly South Downs) - Best | 4.10 | | Beaten into submission about a third way down a pint glass so left it for slops. Over toffee-ish and poured flat and lifeless |
| Hammerton - N1 | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Hammerton - Cache | 3.50 | Not Tried | High priced allegedly due to masses of hops in this so called Micro IPA |
| Park - Isabella | 4.30 | Not Tried |

| Park - Isabella | 4.30 | Not Tried |
01 Jan 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Late evening until close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hammerton - N7 | 5.20 | | Full bodied with a rather over-boiled backtaste evident |

| Hammerton - N1 | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Neptune - Abyss | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Buxton - Right to Roam | 3.80 | Not Tried |
31 Dec 2021 (Philip Pirrip)
Late evening visit until the bagpiper played his refrains about midnight forty five. At midnight on TV was the fireworks display on the nearby Greenwich riverside, audible through the pub's front door too.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - JHB | 3.80 | | |
| Hammerton - N7 | 5.20 | | Best of the evening, more subtle citrus than many others present. Perhaps a slightly over-boiled backtaste |
| Buxton - Right to Roam | 3.80 | | Some haze and rather cloying |
| Milestone - Loxley Ale | 4.20 | Not Tried | Ran out |
| Northern Monk - Eternal Session IPA | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Neptune - Abyss | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
