11:45 to 13:45 First half of a CAMRA Pub Heritage Group meeting in the former Concert Room. Bit of a cock-up on room booking caused us to move on to another pub. This website's description of this pub does not really do it justice as it is included on CAMRA's Heritage Pub website as having regional importance. There are four separate rooms plus service from a corridor hatch. It claims to have the longest continuous running folk club in the country.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kirkstall - Kirkstall Pale Ale | 4.00 | | |
| Kirkstall - Herzblutt | 5.20 | | Bizarre beer. Described as a German mild. Hints of woodruff, liquorice and Jagermeister. |
| Leeds - Leeds Pale | 3.80 | | Bit cloudy |
| Hop Back - Summer Lightning | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Daleside - Blonde | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
