Butcombe Brunel 200 IPA 5%

Jan 28, 2009 2 Replies

A strong Summer Lightning-style beer. I like the name Butcombe because if you are too drunk to speak you can easily mime it. The Spoons at Tooting was packed out. Has everyone's giro turned up a day late?



Went round to Mitcham just in time to see Little John The Submariner being refused service (by Russell) because he was drunk. John showed a bit of dissent. Then he came over and appealed to us.



I said, "If you were sober you would have accepted Russell's judgement and left. The fact that you are arguing about it proves you are drunk."



He couldn't argue with that, and out the escape hatch he went.


It's usually pretty full, for several reasons:

- by Spoons standards, it's tiny.

- it's the cheapest pub in Tooting

- it's the only pub in the immediate area that (sometimes) has interesting and varied real ales.

Very much a shithole though. But I still drink there.

It is indeed. Another thing that does not affect me very much are the heroin addicts who hang around the front door harrassing the smokers ALL THE TIME!
