Speaking to Pete on the way up the school hill, I said that this would either be great or a complete shambles (prejudiced by memories of 1975-1982). Turned out it was great! Very professionally run with a good line up of varied beers. All proceeds going to a new sports hall.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salopian - Golden Thread | 5.00 | | Had this first up. Quite unusually but refreshing after the hike up the hill. |
| S43 (formerly Sonnet 43) - Bourbon Milk Stout | 4.30 | | Really very nice combination of coffee and chocolate. Quite thin in the mouth (but in a good way). |
| Time and Tide - Smugglers Stout | 5.20 | | Excellent example of a standard stout |
| Moles - Mole Catcher | 5.00 | | Very nice spicy brown beer. |
| Celt Experience (now brands are owned by Evans Evans) - Dark-Age | 4.00 | | Dark and quite fruity |
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Pardoner's Ale | 3.80 | | Good light ale with some citrus |
| Bath Ales - Special Pale Ale | 3.70 | | |
| Rockin Robin - RPA | 3.90 | | |
| Old School (OSB) - Detention | 4.10 | | Not bad undemanding light session ale |
| Goacher's - Real Mild Ale | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Mordue - Workie Ticket | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Hogs Back - Tongham TEA (previously T.E.A.) | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
