Fairly busy. It was interesting watching the brewers walking in and out of the pub and drinking their own beer (their lager mainly it seemed)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Twickenham (also uses sub-brand Old Hands) - Original | 4.20 | | Lovely beer. Mid brown best bitter. Soft mouth feel. Mottled earthy hop. Hint of red berry |
| Isle of Purbeck - Fossil Fuel | 3.80 | | Pale brown. Good base bitter with hint of herb and tartness. Tastes like their 'Best Bitter' but with a bit more bite |
| Isle of Purbeck - Purbeck IPA | 4.80 | | Golden brown. Storngy herby grassyness with bitter finish. Hint of raisen, hint of strawberry |
| Isle of Purbeck - Solar Power | 4.30 | | Golden beer with frothy head. Soft mouth feel. Grassyness and herby hops, creamy with hint of soapyness |
| Isle of Purbeck - Best | 3.60 | | Brown best bitter. Earthy and grassy |
| Isle of Purbeck - Thermal Cheer | 4.80 | | Dark brown with balding head. Herby and vegetably beer with hint of oak. Tart root vegatables. Not off just wrong |
| Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Pitch Black | 4.30 | | Black, off white head. Burnt malt and that's it. Not off just 1 dimensional and harsh. |
| Triple fff - Stairway To Heaven | 4.30 | Not Tried | Martin had this and it was tart |
