Hidden in the fog, busy with walkers and passers by on an autumn Friday afternoon.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Theakston - Old Peculier | 5.60 | | I only drink this about once a year, but, as ever, it was medieval in its conflation of sweetness and sharp, chocolate and spice. A treat! |
| Theakston - Lightfoot | 4.10 | | A straw coloured ale,with a gentler, floral quality.Not as aggressive as some of the Yorkshire pale 'n' hoppies I've tried this week.If I could, I'd have scored it 4.5 stars. Good beer. |
| Copper Dragon - Golden Pippin | 3.90 | | Clean and citrussy, a good standby in the North. |
| Greene King - Morland Old Speckled Hen | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Theakston - Best Bitter | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Thwaites - Wainwright (please now use the Banks's entry) | 4.10 | Not Tried | our son enjoyed his pint of this. |
