27 Feb 2024 (Magnus Greel)
Early evening and heaving I managed to share a table with a couple of other chaps and enjoyed my beers in this friendly and welcoming micropub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - Slovenian Wolf Single Hop | 3.90 | | A dry peppery complex ale with hints of honey aniseed with a hoppy kick. |
| Wantsum - Overlord | 6.00 | | Full bodied peaty yeasty fare with an agreeable resinous bite |
| Oakham - Bite the Bullet | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Kent - Kent Golding Bitter or KGB | 4.10 | Not Tried |
23 Feb 2024 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit, soon into conversation with a railway signalling design engineer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ossett - White Rat | 4.00 | | Light bitterness |
| Tring - Scrum Down | 4.00 | | A fine basic wet dog bitter |
| XT Brewing - No. 8 Porter | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Disruption IS Brewing (sub-brand of Ascot) - Chaos More Chaos | 5.00 | Not Tried |
01 Nov 2023 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit. Of all the gin joints and micropubs in all the towns in all the world, a pub quiz has to be taking place on my random visit. Meant all seats taken, they are rarely held here too.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marble - Pint (was 3.9%) | 3.40 | | The Guv confirmed the cask label said it was 3.9% and not the downgraded new 3.4% version or else I should not have chosen it. Not an inspiring ale |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Iron Ore (collaboration with Derby) | 4.80 | | Poured as flat as a pancake from the gravity dispense chilled room. No life in this pint, making it a real chore to finish. No off-flavours to make it undrinkable but really best not sold in this condition |
| Westerham - British Bulldog | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Heritage (formerly William Worthington Brewery) - Charrington Oatmeal Stout | 4.00 | Not Tried | Where is this brewed now the Heritage Brewery is closed |
13 Sep 2023 (Philip Pirrip)
Spur of the moment evening visit until close. Few in and conversation soon lit up. A cornucopia of stuff on the walls to feast the eyes on.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bewdley - Worcestershire Sway | 5.00 | | A good bitter hit with lots of body but poured quite flat |
| Chiltern - Session IPA | 3.90 | | Can't remember when I last had Chiltern, if ever, on draught. A full on malty and hopped hit with lingering bitterness |
| Timothy Taylor - Boltmaker (formerly Best Bitter) | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Nuttycombe - RCH Old Slug Porter | 4.50 | Not Tried |
02 Jul 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit badly planned as was on impulse after several other geographical options were thwarted by train difficulties. Found it eventually having walked past it once already. All micropub physically and in attitude. Walls and ceiling plastered with pump clips and transport memorabilia.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lord's (cuckoo at Golcar) - Chosen Man New World Bitter | 4.40 | | New cask on - very dry aftertaste |
| XT Brewing - Animal Brewing Hop Kitty | 3.90 | | New cask on albeit poured with little head or condition. Another ale with a very dry aftertaste |
| Barsham - Barsham Oaks | 3.60 | | Quite sour hopping, clearly end of cask and turned out to be |
| Arbor Ales - This Time Next Year Rodney | 6.00 | | Been on a few days I suspect as poured totally flat, really strong caramel vanilla taste though. A half sufficed |
| Parkway (formerly Glastonbury Ales) - Session I.P.A. | 4.20 | Not Tried | Ran out |
| Anarchy - "I Dont Tip" | 6.20 | Not Tried | |
| Leigh on Sea - Press Strata To Play | 4.50 | Not Tried |
12 Dec 2015 (thebrewingman)
Saturday lunchtime and we found this gem in the beer dessert known as East Surrey. A few non-league Whyteleafe supporters in who were good company as we were on our way to Merstham v. Tonbridge Angels. Very welcoming.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flying Monk - Elmers | 3.80 | | |
| Crafty Brewing - Dark Sessions | 4.00 | | Improved as the glass emptied. |
| Downlands (formerly South Downs) - Best | 4.10 | | |
| Harbour - India Brown Ale | 4.90 | | A different take on an IPA/Brown Ale. |
| Goddards - Mocha Stout | 4.20 | |

The pub is found in Whyteleafe, Surrey, CR3 0EL.
A shop in Godstone Road, converted into a micropub. Originally intended to be called The Broken Drum but the micropub in Blackfen had coined it first. Benches and high tables in the front of the premises with a small bar behind. Beers are kept in a temperature controlled room at the back. Some are gravity fed, others on hand pumps behind the bar area. Extensive range of real ciders. By 2022 7 handpumps in use for cask ales, ciders / perries on gravity dispense from a rear chilled cellar room and 4 keg beers served through taps fitted into branded petrol cans. Walls and ceiling are festooned with pump clips and transport memorabilia. Lined glasses used throughout.
We have visited this pub 6 times, seen 28 different beers and tried 17 of them.
