Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Dylans Kings Arms
Mainly a restaurant, but also a craft beer house, housed in part of an old (but clearly remodelled) building. Unbooked diners were being turned away, but there was some general seating space left in the compact front bar and more on the wooden benches out front. A pair of Timothy Taylor ales - Landlord and Knowle Spring - were available on the handpumps, but I went for the Magazine Cover from the Deya takeover of seven of the nine keg taps.

Don't often do reviews close together but thought I should in this circumstance. Different bar person but she was just as friendly, knowledgable and enthusiastic about the beers they had on as the last guy I met. A good place to chat about craft beer. Landlord was the cask beer on this visit

It's easy to miss, or indeed dismiss, this place as it looks very much like a restaurant, both inside and out. I went in perhaps at the wrong time, on a Sunday afternoon when it was full of diners. However have a look to your right as you enter and you'll see a small bar with 9 craft taps and three handpumps. I love places like this where I can walk it, gaze at the taps and say "have you got any crazy stuff"? That's what I did here and the barman's eyes lit up and he talked me through some of their beers and offered tasters. Amongst others, I had a wonderful French Toast brown ale on cask and an interesting smoked peach sour from Wiper & True. They also had beers from Kernel, Pollys and Odyssey. Plus as a bonus a Victoria Malaga lager from the Damm stable that I was told was only available in about 50 places in the UK - in a branded glass. Definitely worth a visit, and just a stones throw away from Mad Squirrel.
NB closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
