18:15 Birthday drink with my elder son. Very busy tonight. We had to sit upstairs in the tiny attic which requires some contortions to sit down.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seven Bro7hers - IPA | 5.00 | | Crisp and aromatic |
| Cloudwater - ESB | 6.50 | | Part of their winter range |
| Southport - Old Shrimper | 5.50 | | Dark and rich |
| Tempest - Tempest Steamworks | 3.90 | | Cask lager. Not a bad stab at the lager taste. |

17:45 Having been to the end of the pier to watch the sunset, and the thousands of pink footed geese flying in to roost, the walk back to my son's house took us by here so permission was sought and given for he and me to pop in for a couple. Constant turnover of customers whilst we sat there.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vocation - Chop & Change Chinook Red | 4.50 | | Superb |
| Boss - Bewitch | 4.80 | | Prize pumpkin porter. Not normally a fan of pumpkin beers but this one was good. |
| Ilkley - Scary Spice | 5.50 | Not Tried | Chai pumpkin beer |
| Parker - Dark Spartan Stout | 5.00 | Not Tried |

18:45 Fairly busy. The chap behind the bar really knew his beer. The noise from the next door bar was rather obtrusive. It was a Northern Soul evening with people of a certain age dancing along to the music. Looking from our vantage point into the Hungry Monk, back-flips and hand-stands were not much in evidence.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hawkshead - NZPA | 6.00 | | As the clip states "bursting with the flavour of New Zealand hops" |
| Big Shed - Battlefield Gold | 3.80 | | Pumpclip said fruity blend of old and new world hops. Disappointingly bland. |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Baize Chocolate Mint Stout | 5.50 | Not Tried | |
| Appleby - Senior Moment Best Bitter | 3.90 | Not Tried |

16:45 Very busy. A constant turnover of drinkers, also a large volume of off-sales.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marble - Lagonda IPA | 5.00 | | I find beers from Marble to be consistently excellent. |
| Hophurst - Twisted Vine | 4.10 | | |
| Titanic - Plum Porter | 4.90 | Not Tried | |
| Ilkley - The Mayan | 5.30 | Not Tried |
