12:30 and its packed out. Weather made all the difference. But the bars were not busy at all. And the Real Ale bar was depleted by at least 50%, but still plenty to go at. Nice day around the City though, with most bods here.

Arrived at about 10:45 and was surprised to see quite a few beating me to it. Had a couple of pints in the autumn sunshine.

Popped in after work to see what was on. Great beer line up and not too busy.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Goacher's - Green Hop Ale (East Kent Goldings)3.90ExcellentGreat beer. Had a twang of Master Brew about it (but in a good way). Nice Goacher's body with an EKG bite on the end.
