The Royal George, Deptford

Abysmal.
Every time I've been in here there seems to be a different guvnor, as though its the Sam Smiths equivalent of being sent to Siberia for being effing useless.
This evening, however, was the limit. The tubby Man U shirted oaf who now seems in charge served me with a cloudy pint of lager (!), his explanation being: "its made with hops". I shit you not.
The pint in question was Pure Brewed, which I've been drinking for years and know to be clear as a bell. It smelt rank. My experience of pub work leads me to conclude either
1. the pipes were filthy (fat Man U oaf reckons he cleaned them himself)
2. pipes weren't cleaned competently and still contained cleaning fluid (possible considering that FMUO was at the helm)
3. (my conclusion) the keg was well out of date.
Either way, an utter disgrace. Avoid like the plague. They make beer with hops, apparently.
