Evening "after" close. The lights went out just as I walked down the alley and the door was already locked. A tap on the window; a plea to blag a quick one was granted by Tapster Phil. Then within a few minutes there were 8 in and the pub was back to life.
| Funfair - Wall of Death | 6.00 | | |
| Exit 33 (formerly The Brew Company then Sky's Edge) - Citra Smash | 6.50 | | Pre-sales taster. Superb balance - not just raw citra hit. This is the new name for The Brew Company which renamed itself recently. |

| Derventio - Mabon | 4.30 | Not Tried | |

Evening. Upon entry challenged as being a doppel for Timothy West, then Tapster Merf claimed he looked like Rose West and it all got too silly! First Micropub Association Certificate of Registration that I have seen displayed - which warrants that the pub adheres to the tenets and ethics of the Micropub movement.
| Lincoln Green - Buttermuch | 5.50 | | All point of sale guidance and from behind the bar said this had butterscotch notes. Predictably it did have |
| Kings Clipstone - Moonbeam | 4.20 | | Mediocre taste |
| Joule's - Pure Blonde (was Blonde) | 3.80 |  | Disappointment |
| Rat - Black Rat Porter | 4.50 | Not Tried | |

31 Aug 2014 (Philip Pirrip)

| Hop Studio - Vindhya | 6.00 | | One of the pub's contributions to the local CAMRA IPA trail |
