12:30 and its packed out. Weather made all the difference. But the bars were not busy at all. And the Real Ale bar was depleted by at least 50%, but still plenty to go at. Nice day around the City though, with most bods here.

Arrived at about 10:45 and was surprised to see quite a few beating me to it. Had a couple of pints in the autumn sunshine.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Brewers - Harvest Night | 5.60 | | Plastic containers and a bit cold to start, but a really excellent black IPA, had a couple of these. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Seriously Saison Green Hop | 4.50 | | As recommended by Tom (who brewed it). Had the Belgian taste but not too much banana and cloves. Really nice. |
| Four Candles - Green Hop Ale | 3.80 | | Nice golden ale |
