16 Nov 2024 (Hogan Sampling)
That time for a meal to soak up some of the beers sampled so far and before heading towards New Cross. Not overly busy and so a table number found quite rapidly and fast, cheerful service to go with it. Thought I would try their Christmas menu which was ok but no roast potatoes with it, only mash.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | | Good head and lacing. Good malty mouthfeel with a lingeringly hoppy aftertaste to wash the Christmas dinner down with. |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Ruddles Best (was 3.7%) | 3.40 | Not Tried |

15 Mar 2016 (Stephen Harris)
Early evening and a boisterous after-work trade. Much talk of probation officers on the next table to mine, punctuated by trips outside for ‘snout’.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shepherd Neame - Hog Island APA (No. 18 Yard Brewhouse) | 4.80 | | Golden. Nice US hops, but just a tad thin for its strength. |
| Greene King - Benjamin's | 5.00 | | A dark, spiced beer of the sort that usually only comes out at Christmas. |
| Wadworth - Nausta Lapland Red Ale | 4.50 | | Sweetish, malty beer. |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Southwark - LPA London Pale Ale | 4.00 | Not Tried |

Evening. Expected to find a plethora of flat-capped ex dockers but was mainly a young crowd perhaps reflecting some degree of local gentrification and local housing developments.
