The first Saturday we'd had off for weeks. Near the Castle, but not today too touristy. The pub filled up with functionaries from the Castle and rugby players. Perhaps when they become past the game, they become functionaries in pinstripe trousers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orkney (Sinclair) - Dark Island | 4.60 |  | A wonderful dark christmas pudding of a beer,dried fruit with the tantalising sourness of a late autumn to come. |
| Itchen Valley - Godfathers | 3.80 | | A good amber session bitter. |
| Mordue - Newcastle Coffee Porter | 4.70 | | Didn't think I'd like this, but I did.Pleasantly bitter with the coffee, merging into chocolate. Interesting. |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | The barman was nudging some more diffident drinkers to this beer! |
| St Austell - Tribute | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Keltek - King | 5.10 | Not Tried | Came on as we had to leave |
| St Austell - Trelawny | 3.80 | Not Tried | Had a taster:dull, dull,dull. |
| Nethergate (was Nethergate Growler for a while then name reverted) - Border | 4.80 | Not Tried | Ann drank this, and said it was good.Ran out. |
