Was told to visit this by a chap in The River Ale House. It's a Wetherspoon and very student/tourist clientele. Made welcome and was quickly served.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | | Thought the Abbot was good, but this really hit the palate and so well priced. Can see why other pubs don't like a "Spoons" in the area. |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | | Amazing price for a reasonable pint of malt led beer. Good colour and flavour. Not into technical details, but enjoyed. |
