First stop of the day for Ian, Tony and I. Great pub this. It was 11am so not surprisingly the pub wasn't very busy. Not been here in the day before so I'd never seen the sun stream in the stain glass windows before.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two by Two - Session IPA | 4.00 | | Hazy pale yellow-white beer. Heavy on the alpha acid. Reminded me a bit of Hercules Double IPA by Great Divide. |
| Timothy Taylor - Golden Best (was 3.5%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Wylam - Jakehead IPA | 6.30 | Not Tried | |
| Wylam - Magick | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Thirsty Moose - Oot 'N Aboot | 5.60 | Not Tried |

Our first visit to a cracking pub. Near the river and oozing with atmosphere. Fyne Ales tap takeover tonight.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fyne - Golden Mild | 3.60 | | Reminiscent of Tomothy Tayhlor's Golden Best this was a flawlessy executed light mild. Fully deserved its 5*. |
| Fyne - Hurricane Jack | 4.40 | | One of my favourite beers but not quite so hop forward tonight. |
| Fyne - Whisky Barrel Aged Jarl | 6.70 | | This was a strange one. Jarl aged in whisky barrels was, according to the brewer, expected to turn out around 4.5%abv. It didn't! Flavour was overpoweringly whisky with no hint of the base beer. Interesting but misjudged. |

Around 2 hours later than planned owing to missed connections and delyed trains we headed straight to here. Quiet for a mid Friday afternoon with just 3 others in we opted for the snug and were soon joined by many others.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Allendale - Golden Plover | 4.00 | | Full bodied flavoursome golden ale with citrus notes and an enticing floral aroma. |
| Five Points - Best | 4.10 | | Notes of caramel and biscuit, and a lovely grassy, herbal freshness. |
| Twice Brewed - Sycamore Gap | 4.10 | | A pint of Jif lemon anyone? Thankfully just a taster |
| Fyne - Hurricane Jack | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Burning Sky - Porter | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| Allendale - Anvil | 5.50 | Not Tried | Sadly this had just gone |

A much needed pint after a horrendous rail journey from Carlisle. It is nice to see this place open again although much quiter than I rember it.

Evening visit thanks to Mr P's recommendation. It didn't disappoint - not all ales noted - too dark - one was a World's End brew. I was told later this pub is nicknamed "the coffin". It is higher than it is wide.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Allendale - GFPA | 4.70 | | Well balanced and in top condition. |
| Allendale - Pennine Pale | 4.00 | Not Tried |

Late-ish evening visit, with the crowds thinning out a bit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redscar - Poison | 4.00 | | A very dark ruby red mild. Smooth. Caramel. Not the sort of thing I usually much care for, but this is really good for its style. |
| Hadrian and Border - Tyneside Blonde | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
| Loch Lomond - Bonnie & Blonde (was Bonnie N’ Blonde) | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

Without doubt my favorite pub in Newcastle, I sat close to the record player and enjoyed the vinyl.

This is actually the first time I have ever been here – no surprise to find that I like the place. Quiet in mid-afternoon.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yorkshire Dales - Carperby Calypso | 3.80 | | A very pale beer with a strong, bittersweet, hop taste. |
| Wylam - Gold Tankard | 4.00 | | Golden in colour. Plenty of hops, but dominated by a ‘cereal’ taste that personally I don’t like. |
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Hadrian and Border - Tyneside Blonde | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
| Hadrian Border - Black Gate | 4.00 | Not Tried |
