Still selling an exceptional beer range across all formats. Nice to get here whilst it's still fairly quiet.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tiny Rebel - Assault Trifle | 4.80 | | Very sweet and fruity. Pushing boundaries. |
| Blue Monkey - Blubarb & Custard | 4.80 | | Fruity (particularly blueberry) Wheat Beer with creamy texture. |
| Croft - Black Book | 5.20 | | A dry Stout (dry after the preceding fruit beers anyway). |
| Blue Monkey - B G Sips | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Blue Monkey - Infinity IPA (was Infinity) | 4.60 | Not Tried | |
| Kent - Craft Pale | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Blue Monkey - Mild | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Croft - Dusk till Dawn | 7.00 | Not Tried | |
| McColl's - Session Sorachi | 4.60 | Not Tried |

Relatively quiet in here and the presence of just two cask beers on the bar reflects the low expectations in central London at this time of year. My friend Blondie is leaning on the bar though and we have time for a chin-wag.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tempest - Christmas is Cancelled | 4.50 | | A golden-coloured APA. Not a bit of Christmas about it – neither a whiff of cloves nor a hint of cinnamon. |
| Fyne - Holly Daze | 5.00 | | Amber/brown in colour. Quite a dry Bitter with a bit of a hop presence. |

I find it hard to believe that I have not been in here for two years – I guess that I just now find other pubs in the Craft chain more convenient to visit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blackjack - Euchre Pale | 3.90 | | Quite full-bodied for its strength. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - DogBolter Dark Porter | 5.60 | Not Tried | |
| Dark Star - Sunburst | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| Kent - Clerkenwell Pale | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Dark Star - Revelation | 5.70 | Not Tried | |
| Dark Star - Bock | 5.40 | Not Tried | |
| Harbour - Cornish Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried |

Very crowded here, although after a while we find space by a window. It turns out they have some special beers from brewers in Poland and Germany, and after a while I realise there are at least five people present who were at the Borefts Bier Festival in Holland over the past weekend. Many more beers were available.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revolutions - The Queen is not Dead | 7.40 | | A serious Stout. |
| Ale Mania - IPA | 5.80 | | A very good, US-style IPA. Not many German brewers doing this kind of thing yet. |
| Birbant - Russian Imperial Stout (Barrel Aged) Rum | 10.50 | | A very serious Stout. Very heavy duty, obviously barrel-aged beer. |
| Swannay (formerly Highland) - Sneaky Wee Orkney Stout | 4.20 | | A less-serious Stout. |
03 Jul 2015 (Stephen Harris)
Mid-evening on a Friday and it is of course quite crowded in here. Not as busy as the off-licence two doors away though, which is the Friday night drinking venue for London’s cycle couriers. We stood at the bar. I did not note the full beer range.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three Blind Mice - Absolute Yum | 4.40 | | Very pale gold, with extreme hop flavours. Definitely yummy. |
| Siren Craft - Dinner For Six | 4.10 | | Described as a 'Vienna Pale'. |
| Vento Forte - Loner | 5.20 | | Lush Italian Porter on keg dispense. Very fine. |
20 Apr 2015 (Stephen Harris)
More relaxed in here tonight than this pub becomes later in the week. Very pleasant.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kent - Prohibition | 4.80 | | A pale gold APA. |
| Redemption - Red Craft | 3.80 | | Not a Red Ale. In fact it is a very full-flavoured, hopfest of a Pale Ale. Pushing five stars. |
| Dark Star - Six Hop | 6.50 | Not Tried | |
| Dark Star - Revelation | 5.70 | Not Tried | |
| Kent - Brewers Reserve | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Kent - Altered States | 4.70 | Not Tried | |

Heaving but Ian bumped into 2 friends so we sat with them and talked about Belgium funk flavours in beer.

I’m not sure why I have not been coming here much lately – fear of over-crowding I think. Busy but comfortable tonight.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rooster's - The Accomplice | 5.70 | | An amber-coloured, strong, IPA. |
| Marble - Primus | 5.90 | | A well-hopped Porter, with roasted barley tastes and distinct blackcurrant flavours. |
| Fyne - The Mothership | 4.20 | | Brown-coloured. Well-hopped and with a long, bitter aftertaste. |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Slezak | 4.00 | | Very pale gold in colour. Soft, flat, strong apricot flavour. A brave beer, which did not really work for me. |
| Otley - O3 Boss | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Tiny Rebel - FUBAR | 4.40 | Not Tried | |

A spot of drizzle made standing outside unattractive. With everyone crammed inside it was not conducive to note-taking, so I failed to record 3 or 4 of the available beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blackjack - The Pokies | 3.60 | | Session strength golden beer with lots of fruity New Zealand hops. |
| Great Heck - FIVE | 5.00 | | A strong, hoppy beer with a ‘tropical fruit’ taste. |

| RedWillow - Headless | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
| RedWillow - Wreckless | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
