The walk perked me up a bit down to this pub. It had a pretty good feel to it. Large wooden tables to sit at and plenty of advertising for local events.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Northumberland - Newcastle Pride | 4.30 | | Difficult to tell what any of the beers at this pub tasted like due to the use of the tightest sparklers I have ever seen in a pub. Copper colour with lasting beige head. Some toffee, some hop. Fine, it’s a reasonably well put together bitter that would have more flavour if poured properly. |
| Houston - Marilyn's Draught | 3.90 | | Gold, thin head. Soft bitter. Bit of ok citrusy hop, some dryness on end, some peach fruit. Fine. |
