Very busy in here tonight. It looks like a lot of the trade is coming from the cluster of chain hotels which have sprung up in the area.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rooster's - 24/7 Twenty Four Seven | 4.70 | | Pale gold. Plenty of hop in this one, although a bit dry and dusty. |
| Wolf - Sirius Dog Star | 4.40 | | The festival tasting notes led me to think that I would like this one a lot. I didn’t however. Fruity, sweet, toffee – a jumble of flavours. |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

Mid-evening visit. Most customers seem to be here for ‘Steak Night’. Festival beers bore prominent tags giving the price as £3:15, but staff were advising that this was ‘wrong’ and the correct price was £2:99. When I suggested that perhaps they should take the labels off, I was told that none of the staff present were allowed to touch the pump clips.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shepherd Neame - Fork & Brewer Low Blow | 4.70 | | Golden in colour. An excellent, crisp, hoppy Session IPA with a long, bitter finish. The hops manage to dominate with not a trace of the usual, distinctive SN taste. Best of the fest so far, in my view. |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |

Quick visit after work. Relative calm in here whilst all pubs around about are heaving. Nevertheless, my first sighting of the season of a legless City type in a paper crown.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lymestone - Pudding Stone (superseded by 4.4%) | 4.80 | | A nicely-balanced, golden beer, with some citrusy hop flavours and biscuit malt. Much nicer than I remember from previous years. |

Early evening. Looks like the beer festival is only just getting started here, with several ‘coming soon’ pumps.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Batemans - Colonel's Whiskers | 4.30 | | A stronger version of Bateman’s Dark Mild of many names. Not immediately obvious from the pump clip that it is a Bateman’s beer. |
| Mad Squirrel (formerly Red Squirrel) - Erasmus | 4.70 | | Hazy, yeasty, malty, very cold, golden beer. Barely acceptable to be honest. |
| Mad Squirrel (formerly Red Squirrel) - Conservation Bitter | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Caledonian - Brouwerij 't IJ ISA India Session Ale | 4.60 | Not Tried | |
| Marston's - Birrificio Lambrate Ligera | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| Wychwood (now brewed at Banks's) - Elysian Night Owl Pumpkin Ale | 6.50 | Not Tried |

An awkwardly-shaped, almost ugly pub. But always good beer quality and above average service for the chain.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydes - Owd Oak | 3.50 | | A decent-enough, slightly fruity, dark mild. |
| Thwaites - Logan's Run | 4.30 | | A rather un-subtle fruit beer. Sweet and sticky. |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |

Fairly busy early on a Saturday afternoon.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shepherd Neame - Cinque Ale | 4.10 | | Quite a dark amber/red bitter with an initial bitterness. This develops into a rather one dimensional flavour with little balance. My score 13/20. |
