17:00 Not a planned stop but we got caught in a hailstorm five minutes after leaving the theatre. A welcome refuge.

21:45 Post theatre drink. Busy both in and out. The bar man explained the infuser, the tall column shown in the centre of the interior photograph. Supposedly the only one in use in a pub in the U.K., it has a central chiller and the surrounding cavity is filled with a flavouring such as strawberries as in the picture, or hops as it was tonight. The keg beer is drawn from its container through the infuser.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redwell - Steam - Keg | 4.60 | | This was infused through a mixture of Chinook and Cascade hops. The flavour was superb. Gas not too overwhelming |
| Otley - TRI-O | 3.30 | | Described as a limited edition full bodied late hopped pale ale. Not in very good condition. |
| Durham - White Gold | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Celt Experience (now brands are owned by Evans Evans) - Double Dose | 4.50 | Not Tried |
