Drove up for MAMAS music night. Not as many musicians as usual - perhaps due to the wintery weather forecast. Just a small handfull of locals in although I could see through a small gap that there were a few more in the lounge bar - that is where the handpumps are - all two of them (pumps that is). Unfortunately I couldn't see what the other beer was - I just asked for Caley 80- - they always have that. I bet the other one was probably Old Speckled Hen - I have been in a few times now and never seen them serve anything else. It would be more interesting if they did a hoppy one and a malty one instead of two malty ones. Just the thought of malty beer makes me hungry - eeeee I could go a scotch egg!

Caledonian - 80/-4.10GoodHad the car so couldn't indulge too much but had a pint of Caley 80 which was good. I still remember drinking this about 13 or 14 years ago and I swear it had a more toasted malt and hops taste than it does now so I'll probably never give this anything greater than a 'good' - because it never matches my imagination - everything tastes worse in black and white. Still a perfectly nice pint though.

MAMAS night. Mostly MAMAS regulars in attendance (twenty or so). A friendly and welcoming bunch, always ready to make friends with new faces.
