A familiar face behind the bar, formerly in the Portcullis and Three Tuns.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dawkins - Milkmaid Mild | 2.80 | | Ruby coloured mild rather lacking in body and nearing the end of its life. My score 14/20 with B for quality. |

Apparently run by the same people who own the Hillgrove Porter Stores. It was busy and we sat opposite 3 ladies who shop then natter. We nearly sat on their shopping giving them something else to natter about. I liked this pub. It felt lively and the beer list was excellent
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goffs - Tournament | 4.00 | | Mid brown with spring blossum nose. Tasted of caramel with mild peat water and had a sweet bitter finish |
| Butcombe - Bitter (or Original Beer) | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Goffs - Jouster Ale | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Goffs - Launcelot | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Matthew's - Brassknocker | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Matthew's - 40 Yards | 5.00 | Not Tried | Tony had this and said it was almost a porter . Lots of chocolate and coffee but too dry and needed less alcohol in it but still excellent |

The pub is found in Bristol, Avon, BS8 2BH.
A pub with the feeling of space due to it's high ceilings. L-shaped with cosy snug feel to it. Lots of shash-red wood panels and malted rye coloured walls. Stained glass behind the bar. Very characterful.
We have visited this pub 5 times, seen 13 different beers and tried 6 of them.
