Early evening and there is a good crowd in. The cask beer selection here seems to have improved since my last visit.
Brockley - Pale Ale | 4.10 | | Golden. Predominately a malty taste today, with little trace of hop flavours. |
Twickenham (also uses sub-brand Old Hands) - Naked Ladies | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
Southwark - Bermondsey Best | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
Volden - Pale (formerly Pale Ale) was 4.6% | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
Volden - Session (or Session Ale) | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

Early evening after over an hour on a 343 then 47 bus from Borough. How much worse will this get with Tooley Street one way and Tower Bridge soon to be closed for 3 months.
Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | | Quite mediocre |
McMullen (sometimes latterly brand badged as Rivertown or Whole Hop) - AK Original Mild | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Crown | 4.80 | Not Tried | |

Nice to see this pub busy and a bit more lived-in than on my previous visit. A rather mainstream cask beer range suggests that the pub might be subject to a tie as part of its lease.
Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | | An unusually malty pint of Pride. |
Butcombe - Bitter (or Original Beer) | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
Caledonian - Over the Bar | 4.20 | Not Tried | |

Evening. Work in progress still I feel especially in terms of beer range and care.
Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | | Nasty metallic tang after-taste. Told bar staff as I left and to their credit they called the cellarman who went downstairs to check then came back and said was end of cask and took it off sale |
Belhaven - Caledonian Deuchars IPA | 3.80 | Not Tried | Ran out |
Butcombe - Bitter (or Original Beer) | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
Adnams - Fat Sprat | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

This pub had always appeared to me to be terminally ill and I had never entered it before tonight. Great to see it revived by the excellent Antic people. Given that it is surrounded by some of London’s most innovative new breweries, it is a shame none of their products were on sale.
Butcombe - Bitter (or Original Beer) | 4.00 | | A malty, traditional Bitter. |
Belhaven - Caledonian Deuchars IPA | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
Caledonian - Lipsmacker | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Bombardier (was Bombardier Glorious English) (use Eagle entry now please) | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
