13:00 to 16:00 A railtour from St Pancras by High Speed Train directly into the roundhouse sidings. This session was not open to the general public so there was plenty of room. Three bars, plus cider and craft fizz. Various food stalls, engines in steam and a free half pint for CAMRA members. 200 beers but I have only noted those I tried. Fuller's were one of the sponsors and on the train back they handed out a bottle of Fuller's beer to each passenger. A splendid day.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peak Ales - Summer Sovereign | 4.00 | | Sovereign hops |
| Totally Brewed - Slap in the Face | 4.00 | | Yet another hoppy blonde |
| Mouselow Farm - Golden Gosling | 3.60 | | Another pale hoppy beer. |
| Whaley Bridge - Rapa Nui | 4.90 | | Supposedly subtly spiced with a hint of orange. Too subtle for my tastebuds. |
| Crystalbrew - Summer Breeze | 3.80 | | Eldorado hops |
| Blue Monkey - Right Turn Clyde! | 4.30 | | |
| Silver Brewhouse (formerly Raw) - Baby Ghost IPA | 3.90 | | |
| Big Hand - King's Bane | 3.90 | | Nice hoppy start but soon faded |
| Bosun's - Bosun's Mate | 4.10 | | Once again a good start but faded to nothing. |
| Stancill - American Beauty | 4.80 | | |
| Norland - Showcase | 4.20 | | Ruby ale |
| Brunswick - 7 Year Itch | 4.30 | | 2015 single hop range - Calypso. Nasty back taste. |
| Fuggle Bunny - Chapter 2 Cotton Tail | 4.00 | | Too malty |
| Landlocked - Bernard's Chisel | 4.30 | | Nasty |
