COffee again. Am I a lightweight or what? Spoke to the manager they are having a shift around of the beers, with three from the microbrewery, two other Coors bitters and one local guest (Old Cottage next week). Also a stout and porter on gravity.

Quite busy Sunday lunchtime, which was nice to see. A few people finishing their tours around the museum, but most people in for a pint and Sunday lunch

| Heritage (formerly William Worthington Brewery, now brewed at Burton Bridge) - Allowance Ale | 3.50 | | Been putting trying this one off, but a real surprise. Very hoppy on the nose and bitter on the finish, a full, complete beer for 3.5% and the best one I've tried in here. |

Only a few in again, shame
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timothy Taylor - Landlord | 4.30 | | Excellent pint, just felt it was a tad light and not quite as bitter as a five-star pint of Landlord |
| Heritage (formerly William Worthington Brewery, now brewed at Burton Bridge) - Brewery Tap | 4.50 | | Outrageously lemony aroma, like a bottle of washing-up liquid. Taste very citrussy as promised by the aroma, no head as such and quite flat. Not appalling, but not my bag |

This is a pub that deserves to do well, built out of the ashes of the Bass museum and home of the Worthington microbrewery
Website here: sorry messed up the entry trying to do it on my phone! http://www.nationalbrewerycentre.co.uk/brewery-tap-bar-restaurant-burton-on-trent.htm
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heritage (formerly William Worthington Brewery, now brewed at Burton Bridge) - Red Shield | 4.20 | | Lovely pint. Fresh and citrussy, a real session ale. NB it is 4.2% not 1.0% as on the db. |
| Museum - Worthington's White Shield | 5.60 | | Always a battle with this beer as powerful, slightly yeasty but drinkable if a headsplitter |
| Heritage (formerly William Worthington Brewery, now brewed at Burton Bridge) - E | 4.80 | | Quite excited to see this "yesteryear" brew on draught but perhaps all but dead dut to it being yeasty and not amiss from the average home brew. Ugh. |
| Museum - Bass P2 Imperial Stout | 8.00 | Not Tried | |

The pub is found in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, DE14 1NG.
This is the old Bass Museum bar, the Centre is trying to make it more accessible by having it open to the public (rather than functions or end of the tour). It is taking quite a long time for the client base to increase but the beer choice is unusual and pleasant. Closed October 2022.
We have visited this pub 6 times, seen 11 different beers and tried 7 of them.
