BEER REBELLION
BEER REBELLION
We went last night and it was lovely. Great service, great beers, great enthusiasm from the staff and a genuinely lovely space to sit in the evening.
They have some great porters, stouts and ciders at the moment. It's a genuine local gem.
I will miss it when we leave.

Re: BEER REBELLION
The staff are great.
We aren't moving far away, and not for a while yet. Partly for schools, a bigger garden for our son to play in, cheaper etc.

Re: BEER REBELLION
Nice place to have a beer and good staff also. More people should use it.

Went into BR last night - really bus, in fact so busy that the bar girl was over-run and had to phone for help. She was actually pretty graceless too...rod taylor wrote:This could be the greatest bar ever known to humanity!!!!!!!!!
I appreciate everyone has their own peculiarities but the atmosphere is, at once, interesting but unpretentious, the bar staff the same - friendly and welcoming. It is never really busy (which pleases me if not them), but most of all I genuinely look forward to my trips there - and spending less and less time in Sydenham it is the one place that draws me back - time for a last pint at the beer rebellion before closing - it's, like, two minutes from my house, and friendly and fun and the barman has a sparkle, a twinkle in his eye.
So celebrate it!
I recognise it is a beer shop, but no ice or lemon in a G&T is a touch strange....

Re: BEER REBELLION
I would never willingly go into a bar called 'Beer Rebellion.' I'd be worried about the sort of people I might meet there. 'Beer Tradition', maybe. Even better, 'The Queen's Arms', or something along those lines.
Re: BEER REBELLION
It is , as stated on the tin , a place for beer . G and T lovers should look else where.

Went twice when first opened. No ice machine from inception.
Re: BEER REBELLION
Again why would a craft beer establishment want ice. Beers should not be iced.

Re: BEER REBELLION
If they offer G & T, they should do it properly or not at all, when I ran a pub Gordons actually came to the pub and trained all the staff in the art of making a proper G& TEagle wrote:It is , as stated on the tin , a place for beer . G and T lovers should look else where.
That said, love Beer Rebellion

Any more visions of hell you'd like to offer us?rod taylor wrote: it's like a mate's living room with beer kegs.
Re: BEER REBELLION
I think you will find that 'hell' is friendlier and an altogether nicer place than you think Robin.
Try it. If you like real craft ale/cider of course.

Re: BEER REBELLION
But it's based on about 25 craft beer venues in Brooklyn basically. It's completely aimed at the beard and brogue community and certainly not the CAMRA crowd who tend not to shower much.rod taylor wrote:It's not my job to come up with your visions of hell - ask your priest.Robin Orton wrote:Any more visions of hell you'd like to offer us?rod taylor wrote: it's like a mate's living room with beer kegs.
I agree that if it sells a G&T it should do it properly.
Also, beers can definitely be served cold.

Re: BEER REBELLION
I agree too. Teenage rebellion, trying to establish one's own personal identity by automatically rejecting the values of the older generation, whatever they are, is a very important part of growing up.

On that topic, where does Lwr Sydders actually start? I was always told that Kent House Rd was the boundary...pedantryrod taylor wrote:I'm not sure that having the odd pint at a low-key neighbourhood bar could be regarded as either material for bildungsroman or waving two fingers in the face of society.Robin Orton wrote:I agree too.

I must say you have a very distorted perception of the place, Robin, like it's some sort of den of iniquity. Perhaps this snobbery is because it is in Lower Sydenham.
Re: BEER REBELLION
Ever since the closure of the huge gas works the border not so important.

Re: BEER REBELLION
And of course what the estate agent says...to be fair, I was told that the boundary lay where it was quicker to walk to Lwr Syd station. I think that might be the library then
Re: BEER REBELLION
Had a look on the Late Knights Twitter feed and it appears that they are having difficulties and have closed their brewery. Bars are staying open though. Worrying nonetheless.
