The big news here is that the in-house brewery has ceased production, for the time being at least, with brewer Angelo moving on to Brodie’s of Leyton. Apparently they have stock here to last for several weeks.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew Wharf - Perpetual Motion | 3.80 | | Amber-coloured beer featuring UK Archer hops. But a bit bland I thought, over-chilled, malt-led and the hops struggling to be heard. |
| Brew Wharf - Kitchen Sink Porter | 4.80 | Not Tried |

Early evening and the pub is very sparsely populated. Lots of staff standing around with nothing to do. Odd, because neighbouring pubs are busy.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew Wharf - Kitchen Sink Porter | 4.80 | | An awful lot going on in this black porter. Dominated by a dry, roast coffee flavour, with a woody undercurrent and some nice hops. |
| Brew Wharf - Southwark Red | 5.00 | | Deep red in colour. Cascade and Amarillo hops giving a great flavour on top of juicy malts. |
13 Nov 2013 (Stephen Harris)
Busy, verging on rowdy, in the early evening, with some City-types celebrating some sort of City stuff. Significant CAMRA discount still available.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew Wharf - Hopfather II | 6.10 | | Fierce, US West Coast-style IPA. |
| Brew Wharf - Sesquicentenniale | 5.00 | | Described as a Southern California Pale Ale, which I expected (in my naivety) to be fruity, but which actually was severely bitter. Citra hops shining through. |

Evening towards end of the night. Difficult to find as poorly signed from the street. CAMRA discount most welcome and then makes it normal pricing rather than over-the-top.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew Wharf - Totes Amaize Balls! | 4.60 | | A tad too chilled but warmed up quickly. A cream ale using Pale, Pils, Vienna, Oats and Flaked Maize hopped with Perle and Amarillo! |
| Brew Wharf - Bits & Bobs Pale | 5.20 | Not Tried | Brewed using Pale, Simpsons "Imperial" and Carapils malts with Pioneer, Amarillo and Kohatu hops |

Very busy, with almost everybody outside in the expanded courtyard area.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew Wharf - California Steamin' | 4.30 | | In somewhat warm and tired condition – about the first sub-perfect pint I’ve been served here. I should probably blame the weather. It came over as a best bitter-type, with good hop flavours from Northern Brewer and Celeia, but this pint did not do it justice. |
| Brew Wharf - Saints & Sinners Imperial Jack | 7.20 | Not Tried |

Very busy early on a Thursday evening. I’m always telling people that this is the cheapest pub in Borough Market and nobody ever believes me. But at £3:60 (with CAMRA discount) for a pint of first class 7.2% beer, this must be the best value around.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew Wharf - Saints & Sinners Imperial Jack | 7.20 | | The straightforward version of this beer without the oak and vanilla. It is still an excellent, strong, dark chestnut-coloured, smooth, rich beer. |
| Brew Wharf - Erebus | 4.10 | Not Tried |

I chanced to meet a couple of good friends whilst shopping for groceries at Borough Market – so we all slipped in to here for a quick one.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew Wharf - Mosaic Pale | 4.50 | | Amber-coloured, single-hop beer. Fruity hop tastes. |
| Brew Wharf - Erebus | 4.10 | Not Tried |

Early evening visit. It’s a bit cooler this evening, so all the customers are inside, which makes the space in front of the bar rather crowded. CAMRA members still get 40p off a pint.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew Wharf - Erebus | 4.10 | | A full-flavoured, black stout. |
| Brew Wharf - Rudebwoy Red | 4.60 | | Reddish colour, sweet malt, bucket-loads of US hops. |
14 Feb 2013 (Stephen Harris)
A quiet early evening in here, with tables available in the main bar area.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anspach & Hobday - Black dWharf | 5.20 | | Anspach & Hobday continue to brew their beers at Brew Wharf. This is a very fine, smooth, black, chocolaty porter with plenty of hops. |
| Brew Wharf - Over Reaktion | 4.80 | | Amber/gold in colour. A US West Coast pale ale with a big hop character. |
29 Jan 2013 (Martin the Mildman)
Busy inside, cold outside.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew Wharf - Rye Spelt Porter | 5.20 | | A very bitter and well hopped porter, black in colour with tangy rye malt and some citrus fruity hop. Full bodied with a strong bitter finish. My score 15/20. |
