Used to frequent the Goat House and Ship on a few occasions but they don't exist any more.

190 from Old Coulsdon to Thorton Heath, walk up to SP. Pop into the Railway Telegraph for a few on the way back - the Youngs was nectar, better than nectar.

Anyway, is it not now brewed in Bedford by Charles Wells? But you are right, both are pale imitations of the true Wandsworth brew. Edited by glazedallover (11 Jun 2019 6.41pm)
