|---|---|---|---|
| Surrey Hills - Ranmore Ale | 3.80 | | Could not fault this very sour hopped tasting bitter ale |

|---|---|---|---|
| Five Points - Pale | 4.40 | | Probably best ale on here tonight |

| Titsey - Vanguard | 3.40 | | Lacklustre, I don't think I was judging its 3.4%. Chore to finish |
| Kent - Pale | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
