| Siren Craft - Broken Dream Breakfast Stout | 6.50 | | Crowned CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain 2018 last week and the pub had been storing a cask of this in the cellar awaiting cooler weather. How fortuitous |

31 Jul 2018 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until 11pm close. Also had a Siren Craft keg Spin Botany Gin & Tonic Gose at 3.6% - an alleged "sour" but not tongue strippingly so at all.

23 Jul 2018 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until 11pm close. A post closure gratis tasting of various sample Goose Island (and other) bottled beers whiled away midnight.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Summer's Day | 4.30 | | Spot on, good professional brew as always from Eddie Gadd's emporium |
| Great Heck - Voodoo Mild | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Park - Gallows Gold | 4.40 | Not Tried |
16 Jul 2018 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until 11pm close. Tempted, for a last knocking's treat, by an 8% keg Deya Falling Into Place, honestly a disappointing oily DIPA with lemon juice domination so not really a treat at all. £5.50 a half shows the craft beer market's view of its own self-importance.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | | Lacking a buzzy mouthfeel |
| Great Heck - Voodoo Mild | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Park - Summer Pale | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
| Pig & Porter - Lost Colony | 4.80 | Not Tried |
07 Jul 2018 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until close, whenever quite that was. Also tried a pint of a fizz beer from local Villages brewery.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Northern Monk - Eternal Session IPA | 4.10 | | A murky murk somewhat resembling a smoothie. I found this a slow drinking chore |
| Pig & Porter - Slave to the Money | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Big Smoke - Solaris v3.0 | 3.80 | Not Tried | I suspect I never had v2.0! |
02 Jul 2018 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until 11pm close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Big Smoke - Sunshower | 4.70 | | |
| Tiny Rebel - $ertified $imcoe (Sertified Simcoe) | 4.00 | Not Tried | Taster was pretty insipid and lacking the mouthfeel that might have made this single hopper appetising |
19 Jun 2018 (Philip Pirrip)

The pub is found in Eltham, Greater London, SE9 5PR.
In Court Yard just off the High Street the former Crown pub has been part transformed following a wider development of the entire premises. A small bar, along the lines of the Micropub style, which opened in April 2018 selling cask ales and ciders / perries served on gravity dispense from a cooled small walk-in cellar room behind the bar counter and with 11 keg beer taps on the back wall too. Seating is at trestle style tables and low chairs. The original ground floor pub frontage has been retained.
We have visited this pub 21 times, seen 43 different beers and tried 24 of them.
