Evening until 10pm close. Bexley CAMRA Branch cider trail visit. Astonished to see a whole large blackboard with 25 listed ciders. Kentish Pip Vintage was the best of the ones tried at 3 pubs in total tonight.

Evening until 10pm close. Upon arrival all tables taken. All the high tables are now in place unlike my first visit. Acoustics are awful and the owners have plans to resolve this. I have not yet sussed the relationship between last orders bell, last serving time and last entry time, compared with published opening hours, which seem far too complicated and undocumented and a possible cause for friction.

Evening until 10pm close. First night, last night, was a total beer sell-out. Still well full tonight and a work in progress with more tables to be delivered and wall furnishings to deaden sound yet to be applied. Liked it a lot and the couple running it are a friendly pair and very enthusiastic. Bexley Borough is London's Micropub capital.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kirkby Lonsdale - Ruskin's | 3.90 | | Quite vicious hopping |
| Salopian - Darwin's Origin | 4.30 | | Good but too much of the lemon juice syndrome |
| Settle - Attermire Session IPA | 4.20 | | Clip shows no provenance of Settle Brewery just mumbo jumbo marketing stuff |
| Mr Grundy's - Big Willie | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Rooster's - Highway 51 (or Highway Fifty-One) | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
| Itchen Valley - The Hopfather | 4.00 | Not Tried |
