Late afternoon to early evening visit, a few other groups in so we spread out and made ourselves comfortable.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Cellar Head - Session Pale Ale3.80ExcellentStraw coloured pale ale has tropical fruit and sweet floral aromas with the intense flavour of gooseberry and green grapes with a light honeyed sweetness leaving a crisp punch and a dry, clean finish.

Another new one for me on a great crawl so far (oops am I allowed to use the 'C' word), not too busy so we took over the right hand side of 'The Pub' for another welcoming and enjoyable stay.

Lunchtime, interesting chat with the guv and a regular. I was told that the Butcher’s Arms is for sale - but with the aim of preserving it for posterity (as the first micropub). Also a green hop from Bexley - Hukins’ Ernest at 4.3%
