Evening visit until midnight close. No Abbot or Doom Bar tonight.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Abbot Reserve | 6.50 | | Should I or should I not? Went for it, just the one. Smooth drinking but distinctly headbanger stuff |
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - IPA | 3.60 | Not Tried | |

Evening visit until midnight close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Truman's - Scorcher | 4.20 | | |
| Beartown - Bearskinful (aka Premium or SB) | 4.20 | | The clip described this as Premium Bitter Malty & Toffee. What came through was unadulterated acetic sharp. It was changed with good grace and the barman agreed it was ugh. Would bet it is left on sale as discussions behind the bar gave at least one "nothing wrong with it" observation. |

The pub is found in Lewisham, Greater London, SE13 6JP.
A busy pub that's small by Wetherspoon's standards. Bookshelves around internal pillars make views across the floor difficult. A bit like a chameleon it changes clientele during the day attracting market folk whilst the street market is open then a mixed group of faces later on. Here staff do get to know their customers. Sports 2 banks each of 6 handpumps.
We have visited this pub 324 times, seen 667 different beers and tried 289 of them.
