Homeward bound after a week in sunnier parts and much enjoying access to a better class of beer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arbor Ales - Basta Rosse (collaboration with Mezzo Passo) | 5.00 | | Originally a collaboration brew, it's good to see Arbor have continued with this excellent, hoppy Red. |
| Wild Beer Co. - MMXX | 4.10 | | A mixed fermentation hoppy Pale. Very unusual. |
| Tap East - American Amber Ale | 5.40 | | From a keg. Well-hopped and quite heavily carbonated. |
| Big Smoke - Forest of Azure | 5.60 | | From a keg. A smooth, creamy Wheat Beer. Blueberry. |
| Milton - Nero | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Coffee in the Morning (has been 5.7% too) | 5.60 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - A.P.A. (American Pale Ale) | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
