Mid-evening and surprisingly quiet.

Mid afternoon and fairly quiet.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Geltsdale - Brampton Bitter | 4.00 | | I have had some excellent beers in this pub, and this is the first time that I have been disappointed, the beer was pulled with a tight sparkler that gave it a head, but this quickly vanished to give a flat pint with a few blotches as a head, it seemed completely dead to me. I did not finish it. |

Good to see a group of Club Brugge supporters in here ahead of tonight’s match at St James Park.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fyne - Sanda Black | 5.50 | | Great to catch up with the dark version of this beer. It is a luscious black IPA, darkened (I assume with malt extract) to give a really complex, mellow and lovely pint. |
| Anarchy - Blonde Star | 4.10 | | Golden. Bitter-sweet, quite malty, bit of hop character. |

Fairly busy with diners on a weds lunchtime.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
