Early evening and by far the busiest pub of today, we found a table towards the garden extension and enjoyed our beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brains - SA Gold | 4.30 | | Just a taster which was a wise precaution as the expected head shuddering maltiness had the desired effect! |
| Timothy Taylor - Boltmaker (formerly Best Bitter) | 4.00 | | Lacking its usual dry hoppy crisp finesse |
| Brains - SA | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Brains - Dark (aka Red Dragon Dark) | 3.50 | Not Tried |

Afternoon visit on a warm and muggy day, I had not been here before and was expecting it to be a food house with the dreaded pastel grey interior but thankfully it is a good pub with friendly bar staff and customers. Top up given with good grace.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Otter - Bitter | 3.60 | | |
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | This ran out. |
| Purple Moose - Dark Side of the Moose | 4.60 | Not Tried |

16:15 Half way between the White Lion and the White Hart Tap. I felt it would be rude not to go in. No one else in.
