Mid afternoon for my first venture into deepest Beeston CBD and pondered over how I'd not been to this gem of a pub while we enjoyed our beers in the central enclave.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blue Monkey - BG Sips | 4.00 | | Light hoppy and fruity perfection |
| North Riding (please carefully select either Brewery or Brewpub entry) - Chocolate And Fudge Porter | 4.50 | | A taster offered by the landlady and does what it says on the clip though would have been to sweet to endure a pint of this nectar |

A nightcap on the way back from the Victoria. Another CAMRA heritage pub. Unfortunately it was full inside with one of the smaller rooms shut due to COVID. A massive covered area has been created in the car park so we had to sit there.

A fairly large group of us, and we sat in the small private bar/snug area which was a bit of a squeeze.

Fairly quiet on a Wednesday lunchtime.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Muirhouse - Magnum Mild | 4.50 | | Consistently excellent malty mild with loads of choclate and coffee malt flavours and low hopping. My score 16/20. |
07 Jan 2012 (Martin the Mildman)
Quite busy on a Saturday lunchtime.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leatherbritches - Scoundrel | 4.10 | | Dark brown stronger mild with a bitterweet character and some fruity hop in the finish. My score 15/20. |
| Milestone - American Pale Ale | 4.60 | | A bit off style for this with bitter malt and yeasty flavours dominating over slight hoppiness with little citrus character. My score 13/20. |

Local and passing trade providing the custom on a Monday lunchtime.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Abbeydale - Dr Morton's Rabbit Punch | 4.10 | | Pale bitter with a smooth well rounded flavour of malt and citrus hops. The finish is clean, hoppy and lingering. My score 16/20. |
| Leatherbritches - Scoundrel | 4.10 | | This was billed as a mild for the Nottingham Mild trail, so must have changed recipe as was now much less bitter with malt and fruit flavours dominating. Dark brown in colour with a fruity finish. |

| Nottingham - Foundry Mild | 4.70 | | Very tasty, smooth, black, and strong. |

Fairly quiet on a Monday afternoon but a generally good and relaxing atmosphere. I had originally just come for the mild on the mild trail but stayed for some more beers it was such a good pub. Currently Nottingham CAMRA's pub of the year and it's not even in the GBG yet!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spire - Dark Side of the Moon | 4.30 | | Good malt character to this reddish mild with toffee and chocolate notes. A little fruity hop and a pleasant malty finish. My score 16/20. |
| Leatherbritches - Scoundrel | 4.10 | | A dark brown bitter brewed as a house beer and sold at a very reasonable £2.00/pint. A fair bit of hop bitterness and some roast malt flavours. My score 15/20. |
| Leatherbritches - CAD | 4.00 | | Another £2.00/pint house beer, this is more of a traditional bitter with a bittersweet fruity hop character and a dryish finish. |
