27 Apr 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Late evening visit. I was aware in advance was cash only but had brought enough for one pint only. A proper traditional old boozer still, a dying breed.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forest Road - Work | 5.40 | | Had not heard of this brewery before nor that it has moved to SE14 of late. A full bodied well balanced ale that just needed to be slightly cooler for 4* marking |

24 Nov 2019 (Philip Pirrip)
Late evening visit. A quirky friendly house with a chance to sing along to some Zep, Kinks and Dylan tracks.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Big Penny (formerly Truman's) as of late 2022 contract brewed - Runner | 4.00 | | I wonder if this bears any relationship to the original Truman's recipes. Too malty and wet dog for my palate |

Evening visit until 11pm close. My first for a while, and impressed by the bohemian style of behaviour here with a bit of a free-for-all enjoy what you like attitude.

Evening until close whilst in a try somewhere new mood. Crib evening in full swing. A nice find.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Big Penny (formerly Truman's) as of late 2022 contract brewed - Swift | 3.90 | | A duff pump meant this was frothing up and the barman was using an overflow glass under the counter to top up with! I just wish Truman's would brew mid-brown English hopped bitters true to its predecessor's history |
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Bombardier (was Bombardier Glorious English) (use Eagle entry now please) | 4.10 | Not Tried |
