Noon. Usual queuing at the spoons bar. Should they instigate a Q system?
Off to Slovenia - any suggestions for a good bar anyone?

Much busier than The Beehive. As usual uninspiring cask selection.

|---|---|---|---|
| Sixpoint - Resin (can) | 9.10 | | Excellent IIPA. |

Totally unimpressed. Five pump clips showing but only Hobgoblin and Pedigree available. In one day we see the good and bad of Spoons with the excellent George contrasted with this. Captive market I fear.

|---|---|---|---|
| Hook Norton - Chinook Gold | 4.70 | | Hoppy and creamy. delicious |

| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Banks's - Botanical Beer | 4.20 | Not Tried |

England were playing Slovenia on the muted screens. A pint or two before a flight is now a tradition, regardless of the time of day or night. Moved on to the Amarillo Bar & Grill afterwards and was delighted to find Sierra Nevada Porter in bottles.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exmoor - Gold | 4.50 | | Clear but a little stale-tasting. Still preferable to the usual drivel. |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Ruddles Best (was 3.7%) | 3.40 | Not Tried |
