Beer Rebellion

Is the name of the pop up pub opposite Gipsy Hill station.

In it this weekend, Mr. Jah Lush and I shifted several gallons of the most delicious bitters I've ever had.

The Bedlam bitter is a thing of beauty and so is the cider with ginger.

It may close in a couple of weeks so I suggest you get round there.

[Jah Lush]

Indeed. Fabulous little place. I recommend it highly. Some really fine ales were slurped.

Glad you folks found it. I stuck a recommendation on the "craft beers" thread but didn't think anyone had noticed it. They do very good (and relatively cheap!) wines and whiskies too :)

I have heard that they might well be able to renew their 3 month pop-up, plus the initiative comes from a new craft brewery in Penge as I understand it: 'Late Knights Brewery'.

They haven't been able to renew their lease, alas, but they are on a rolling one-month, looking for somewhere else nearby. Agree with the comments above - brilliant bar and friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Seems a shame that EDers need to go all the way there for something so good and straightforward, but I fear ED rents would preclude anything like this happening nearer to home.

what ? proper pubs dont sell food bro'

[Voyageur]

When we went just after they 'popped up' they were selling giant scotch eggs and pork pies I think... with the intention of producing a bit more food wise as they progressed. They certainly weren't aiming for gastropub status though, instead concentrating on the beer.

[woodrot]

hang on....No Lager ?

what kind of shoddy pub is this ?

[Jah Lush]

I had one of the Scotch eggs. Debloodylicious. They also do a deal with the nearby curry house. You get ten per-cent off your order. I think they may have had one lager on the go, possibly bottled but no one took a blind bit of notice of it. It was largely ignored and made to feel like a bad fart in a crowded lift.

In the loveliest possible way I read/heard these posts as SteveO as a mildly guttered, expansive Stephen Fry (to the point where you could call him 'Steve') and Jah Lush as a sober Keith Richards where he uses his 'English' voice'.

Glad you had a good time.

How perspicacious of you HB. We are both national treasures

If they're looking for somewhere permanent, the old Cambridge pub is still vacant up near CP Parade.

I realise it probably isn't as simple as that, though!

They were outbid for that when it went on the market some months ago. The developer who acquired it is letting it sit empty though, which is galling.

Ha ha ha I giggled when I read that. Thank you Mr B. Indeed we did and how very perceptive of you. Not that far from the truth as Mr Steveo is as erudite as Mr Fry. Do join us for a sherbet sometime or if you find yourself in the near vicinity of the above bar pop in and enjoy the goods before it's too late. Chin chin old chap.
