  Decided to visit for a beer and Friday burger. Hello my new favourite local! It’s dark (helped by wood paneling) and delicious. The boys have beards, the beer is varied and the Wilson Picket burger was meaty. They even serve proper chips in a pint glass. Loved it, will come again and suggest you give it a try.

  Friday’s outing saw me getting a train from Elephant & Castle for the first time ever. Not knowing quite how far through the shopping centre it was (lovely place by the way), I ended up missing my train and spending 20 minutes with a pushy but entertaining Big Issue seller. After parting with some change, he gave me a manly hug and sent me on my way to Sevenoaks.I got off a few stops short of Kent at Crofton Park, just down the road from Brockley, to visit the latest pub venture from the clever chaps at Late Knight’s Brewery. Having recently spent a great evening at Beer Rebellion in Gipsy Hill, I had high hopes for their new joint, London Beer Dispensary.They have taken over one half of Mr.Lawrence’s wine bar & shop on Brockley Road, still sharing a garden with their grape-loving neighbours. Most unusually, they have stripped away the previous space-wasting bar, and replaced it with a large central barrel. There is no bar. Anywhere. Just a load of cask and keg lying around, waiting to be drunk. Genius.The bearded duo of Darren & Aidan man the open space, offering up tasters and friendly advice on what to drink. With cask at 3.40/pint and keg at 4.20/pint, you should be able to go through the majority of the 8 casks, 3 kegs and 5 ciders with friends without breaking the bank. For a bit of fun, order from the mysterious Dark and Light kegs which are only revealed once totally finished. They imported this idea from their Brighton Beer Dispensary.The likes of Weird Beard Decadence Stout (on the Dark tap), Truefitt Erimus and Great Heck Amish Mash (awesome name) impressed on our visit. There are plenty of exciting bottled beers if nothing on the board takes your fancy, as well as a fine selection of whiskies. You can probably bring a glass of wine in from next door if you ask nicely too.The top notch burgers from Beer Rebellion are on offer here, and the quality remains high. Also, Late Knights’ witty scribblings are once again present – the emergency Stella box was our favourite.My hopes were not misplaced. They’ve set up another cracking little beer (and whisky) haven in an unlikely SE London location. Watch out Peckham & Penge, you are probably next. mattthelist.com
