Nothing lasts forever. Announcement of big changes at Beer Guide London:. Summary: co-founder Jezza @BonsVoeux1 is moving to Bruges. The future is somewhat uncertain, but Steve @MusingAnorak explains in the article how things might work out….

A quick hop on the bus to the original @RustyBucketPub. 9th stop and probably last today. Maybe. 18 taps plus three gravity cask ales plus two packed fridges.

Three stops on the train to Eltham and a 10 minute walk brings me to my 8th stop of the day, @thelongpond. Classic micropub offering gravity cask only, 5 of them today, and mine was in perfect condition.

Shorter bus ride this time, plus walk, to stop 5, @bird_and_barrel. Micropub owned by @BexleyBrewery. 4 taps and 3 handpumps offer their own beers plus guests. They have expanded out back, increasing capacity greatly. Annoyingly there is a beer festival on that I can't enjoy!

More waiting for, and sitting on, a bus to get me to stop 4, The Penny Farthing. A classic micropub offering 5 keg beers and 3 gravity cask ales, all served from the cold room.

An hour on a bus to get to stop 3, The second branch of @RustyBucketPub in Bexley. Housed in a railway arch and offering 15 beers on tap plus 3 cask and a packed fridge. This is a really nice place with a great beer list.

1 stop to the end of the Lizzy Line and a ten minute walk brings me to Bouldr Bar, the new home of @rockleopardbrew. Currently a work in progress with outdoor seating only. 8 taps offer a range of their beers, brewed elsewhere at the moment but will be brewed on site eventually.

A more leisurely start today as I look to complete the second round of Guide visits in the next couple of days. Starting at SALT in Woolwich. Good selection across the 15 taps. I've gone with the sole cask ale which is in excellent condition.

The main reason for today's trip will become apparent at the next stop. But first a quick beer and A/C stop at @ClaptonCraftSJH. 5 beers on tap and available as thirds.

Stop two was to have been @StrandedLDN but it turns out they are closed today. Time to find a Plan B.

Couple of days off work so it would be rude not to visit a few bars!.Starting with a, surprisingly, first visit to @FullersBrewery brewery shop and tap room. 4 taps and 3 cask. Unsurprisingly my cask beers are in excellent condition!

After yesterday I'm just making one visit today, @OaP_micropub. Rectifying my error of a couple of weeks ago! Home of Marko Paulo brewery with 6 handpumps and 8 taps of their own diverse range of beers.
