Evening visit until midnight close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roosters - CC Rider | 4.30 | | |
| Reunion - Trial Brew No. 10 Bloomer | 4.50 |  | Something odd here. Pint had acetic backtaste and was swapped out with good grace. The Guv later pulled some more through and tasters gradually came up to scratch. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| East London (ELB) - Barbed Wit Rhubarb Wheat Beer | 4.60 | | An acquired taste |

25 Jul 2018 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until midnight close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | | Not my usual beer of choice but it brought some taste normality back and some semblance of professional brewing attributes |

| Shiny - Strong Dark Mild | 5.50 | Not Tried | |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

The pub is found in New Cross, Greater London, SE14 6TJ.
Located in New Cross Road it could be in Deptford or New Cross. Almost universally described as the “best pub in the area” the Royal Albert has massively improved since its 2007 reversion to its proper name, after a time as the Paradise Bar, and reversion to proper pub values. Has a pubby space at the front and more of a dining room feel towards the rear, where there is an open view kitchen. Very handy for Deptford Bridge DLR or New Cross stations. Sports 8 handpumps, one of which regularly carries a cider.
We have visited this pub 142 times, seen 376 different beers and tried 179 of them.
