Tuesday, soon after evening opening, it was reported to me that I had been seen on a number 71 bus earlier in the day and that people wondered what I was up to, I had to admit that I had ventured in to the Pippin. Most of the conversation involved slagging off a certain food critic for the Times newspaper. I have never heard so much support for Spoons as there has been since that article.
Matt and Gina will be leaving the pub in March 2018 after three years at the Rifle, I wish them luck for the future.

Goacher's - Best Dark Ale (aka Original) | 4.10 | Not Tried | Not quite ready, but should be on tomorrow. The Dark should be available until the Gold Star returns. |
Goacher's - Gold Star | 5.10 | Not Tried | Not available, and all casks returned to the brewery, I was told that there appears to have been a problem with the latest batch and many pubs in the area have had to send it back. |

A good friendly crowd in tonight. Somebody ordered a Starlight which apparently meant a half of Gold Star mixed with a half of Fine Light, those of us who remember drinking in the keg days would never order a Starlight.

Late evening visit. My first here since the current licensees took over from Alan. A rarity now, a proper local with enthusiasm for its products. Nice collection of breweriana titbits to view.
