Quiet in here. Barman and customer discussing the universe and somehow Hitler got involved!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Joule's - Moon Madness | 4.70 | | ABV on clip is 4.666%! Far too sweet, apparently this is Joule's take on a mild. Very smooth and in fine form though. |
| Glamorgan (formerly Kite) - Welsh Pale | 4.10 | | Keg. Pretty average fizzy pale. |
| Oakham - Citra | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Joule's - Pale Ale | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Joule's - Slumbering Monk | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Joule's - Pure Blonde (was Blonde) | 3.80 | Not Tried | This now appears to be called Pure Blonde |
| St Austell - Bucket of Blood | 4.50 | Not Tried |

Good atmosphere and with the dark wood it actually feels very Germanic and welcoming. Good to see a Joule's pub with a decent selection of guest ales.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| RedWillow - Directionless | 4.20 | | Another cracking Redwillow ale. |
| Totally Brewed - Space Brewster | 4.20 | | |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | Not Tried | |
| Joule's - Pale Ale | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Joule's - Slumbering Monk | 4.50 | Not Tried | |

The pub is found in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, ST5 1RE.
Charming, old-fashioned pub in the town centre, the oldest in Newcastle, dating from the 14th Century; beware low beams when entering. The bar is on the left of the entrance, whilst the right hand side forms a cosy snug. Very much brightened up by the new management team; although under the ownership of Joule's, four of the guest beers will come from other breweries, whilst the fifth will be the Joule's seasonal ale.
We have visited this pub 4 times, seen 16 different beers and tried 7 of them.
