| Harviestoun - Bitter & Twisted | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Fireside | 4.50 | Not Tried | No mention of the brewer's name on the pump clip. The barman had to look it up in a brochure to find out who brewed it. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robinsons - Trooper (superseded by 4.7% version) | 4.80 | | Amber-coloured and full-bodied. Slightly ‘soapy’ Robinson’s taste. |
| Salisbury - Sarum IPA | 4.30 | | Golden coloured with a ‘cereal’ malt taste. Not sure which definition of IPA this falls under. |
| Belhaven - Caledonian Deuchars IPA | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Jennings (since closure now brewed at Marston's) - Cumberland Ale | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Wooden Hand - Cornish Mutiny | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
