Saturday the 26th April 2025 saw us meet up with our friends and neighbours from the Croydon & Sutton branch of CAMRA for a tour of three different micropubs which transverse the two branch areas and are all helpfully linked by a single bus route, Metrobus service 409, which runs hourly Monday to Saturday daytime between Selsdon and East Grinstead via Caterham and Godstone.

Our first stop was The Golden Ark Micropub, Selsdon where we found 4 real ales - Frome Great Uncle John's Prohibition, Vale Cloud Nine, Milestone Italia and a 6% old ale from Beerblefish called Peculiar Fish.

We then moved back across the border into our own branch area and visited Ales On the Green, a newly opened micropub on Warlingham Green. There we found 3 real ales on the bar - these were Wantsum Imperium, Tiny Rebel Dirty Love and Californian Spring from the very local Titsey Brewing Co..

Our final stop was The Radius Arms in Whyteleafe where we took the opportunity to present a special award to the owner, Vince, for his continued and consistent excellence in the provision of real ale.

Some pictures of the day are featured below and feature our Treasurer, Martin Longhurst, handing over the award to Vince.
