Mid evening visit. Almost put off by recorded rap music emanating from the pub as I entered the market area, but persisted and had a good chat at the bar about the new Young's pumpclips pretending that Bedford beer was London beer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| St Austell - Proper Job | 4.50 | | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Banks's - Young's London Original (was Bitter) - previously brewed in Bedford and at Wychwood | 3.70 | Not Tried | No longer clipped as a bitter, instead as "Light & Balanced" |
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Young's London Special (was Special) | 4.50 | Not Tried | No more a London beer than I am. Also now clipped as "Rich & Hoppy" |

Late evening visit thwarted by being told at the door the pub had closed early having had no customers for two hours. Of course if you get a reputation for closing early then people go elsewhere. Chicken and egg.

Evening until midnight close. Rather older clientele than elsewhere tonight and all just trying to talk over superfluous loud music.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Big Penny (formerly Truman's) as of late 2022 contract brewed - Runner | 4.00 | | Darker in colour than I recall. Best example of this beer I have had, so a second followed the first |
| Wadworth - Horizon | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Yardbird | 4.00 | Not Tried |

Evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marston's - Wychwood Hobgoblin IPA (was Ruby Beer, was Hobgoblin) | 4.50 | | Liked this no more than last time I had it when Wychwood first started brewing it. Dark Ruby ale. Can not understand why it is so ubiquitous as it seems so home-brewish |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | Ran out |
| Marston's - EPA | 3.60 | Not Tried | Ran out as mine was pulled. Very pleasant barman handled this professionally with discussion of the good and bad experiences of the last one out |
| Greene King - Gangly Ghoul | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - London Glory (superseded by 4.1% version) | 4.00 | Not Tried |
