Evening. In the main bar most tables were occupied in studious cribbage play.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brewster's - Charnsters Gold (collaboration with Charnwood) | 3.80 | | Apparently the brewster from the forthcoming Charnwood Brewery is under pupilage at Brewster's. A golden ale which did not simply taste of lemon juice. Good |
| Glentworth - Lightyear | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
| Box Steam - Chuffin' Ale | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Oldershaw - Heavenly Blonde | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

| Oldershaw - Heavenly Blonde | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Oldershaw - Mosaic Blonde | 4.30 | Not Tried | |

Evening. Local CAMRA fellows crowding the handpumps made for good conversation on matters beer and beer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

Evening. Grim wet Sunday evening cheered by a visit to this friendly local. A local unmasked me as Philip Pirrip from putting two and two together. I tried to recruit him to be a contributor to this site to fill a geographical area rarely covered. Let's see if he takes the bait.

Evening visit. Always very friendly and it seemed as if everyone already had completed their pre-Christmas chores except me.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robinsons - Tom & berry | 4.60 | | 2 goes - with and without sparkler. Without seemed to bring out the fruit tones better |
| Ilkley - Project Venus - Venus Voyage | 6.00 | | Scrumptious. Described as Trans-Atlantic Union India Pale Ale. The strength soon left a numbness in the forehead |
| Tring - Tringle Bells | 4.20 | | Brewed to offend no one - very drinkable |
