Evening visit. Good chatty crowd sitting close to the bar counter and using the teeming rain as an excuse to stay longer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mallinsons - Dunter (Eider) | 4.40 | | After the Isca this was heaven |
| Isca - OAP (Oatmeal American Pale) | 5.00 | | Said unfined but this pure cloudy and with a very sour taste |

| London Beer Lab - Simcoe Pale Ale | 5.30 | Not Tried | Never heard of this crowd before but web browsing finds "London Beer Lab is an open source micro-brewery. They run beer making workshops and a home brew shop from their Arch in South-West London. Providing their expertise to customers and including their recipes on their labels. The Brewers don't just teach people how to brew though, they also brew themselves and have a range of great beers to showcase their skills." |
