Afternoon visit. Brewing in progress. Let's hope they get a chance to sell what ever it is.

Tap East - Smokestack Porter6.00ExcellentCurrently 6.1% and possibly a tad strong for lunchtime. Lovely and smoky though.
Tap East - A.P.A. (American Pale Ale)4.30GoodFloral and fragrant.
O'Hara's - Session IPA3.80AcceptableFrom old-school keg. Cold and fizzy. Some fruit flavours in the background somewhere. My one concession to St Patrick. No top hat or leprechauns involved.

Crowded tonight. Some people are predicting that by the end of the month pubs will be forced to close on health grounds.

A quiet Sunday evening here as people shelter from the storm raging outside.
