10:45 A great disappointment. The beer choice was as good as usual but the venue has changed. The local council, in their wisdom, have divided the building into two with a view to selling the former cafeteria area as a restaurant. In consequence seating was reduced to a minimum and the food choice was much reduced. Shame.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hop Monster (Georges) - Snake Oil Stout | 5.00 | | Full of flavour. |
| 4T's - Easterrrrr | 5.10 | | 7 different hops |
| Bexar County - Andy's Falcon Brew | 7.70 | | A true American IPA but unfined which I think detracts from the overall taste of the beer. |
| Crafty Beers - Hippy Hoppy | 3.80 | | English, American and NZ hops. Stunning start but faded away to nothing as I got halfway down the pint. |
| Indian Summer - Hop & Soul Red | 4.00 | | Very dry finish. Palisade and Dr Rudi hops. |
| Xtreme Ales - Etheldreda | 4.00 | | Odd flavour to start but developed a vanilla taste towards end. |
| Hand Drawn Monkey - Monkeys Love Hops 12 | 4.20 | | Galena Topaz and Nelson Sauvin. Far too sweet. |
| Jo C's - Knot Just Another IPA | 5.00 | | Only a taster as I had had this beer before. Horrible. The pub landlord in our group said it tasted like a beer with pipe cleaner in it. |
| BlackBar - Marzen 2013 | 6.00 | Not Tried | Only a taster but would probably have given it good had I had a pint. |
