Beer festival. The tiny bar was even more cramped with the stillage taking up a fair amount of floor space.

Busy pre Christmas Saturday afternoon, some very colourful characters about but we managed to find a table.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - JHB | 3.80 | | Dry, bittersweet finish with the vibrant tang of grapefruit. |
| Beeston - Worth the Wait | 4.20 | | And it certainly was.. gentle bitterness and a refreshing citrus hint |

Saturday afternoon, and the town was busy with Christmas shoppers. There was a large group of males in drag fancy dress drinking outside the pub, but once inside we found a small and pleasant bar.
