Busy. Mostly local trade. Foster dog, Bruno, didn't settle so had to sit on the harbour wall. Oh, hardship.

Siren Craft - Suspended in Sabro4.00ExcellentGreat 'new' hop in an ultra-hazy beer. Easy drinking but with a depth of flavour.
Box Social - Setting Fire to Sleeping Giants3.50AcceptableThis didn't quite work. Interesting but with an astringent finish. 2* maybe.
