Yes very sad, I had a chat with the barman, he said it closed in April this year.
is this the brewery behind Kelham Island Pale Rider?
If so might explain its disappearance from one of my local spoons in south London which had it on pretty much all the time (unusual for a "guest" ale) along with its other constantly changing delights. It was always a good standby if nothing else on offer took my fancy. And pretty strong.
Yes it is,or was :|

Cant beat beer after a good ride :)
About a month ago i did a ride to Monsall Head and back from Moira Furnace and when we got back there was a fete in the grounds including a beer tent .You can imagine how quickly a pint will make you wobbly after you have been on the bike most of the day

That was quite a ride, got to be 40-odd miles to Monsal Head from Moira, it's a wonder you didn't drink the tent dry....

Edit - 51 miles on bikehike.

perhaps it will be returning to Penge soon.
It really was on constantly there - curious north/south link.
