14:30 A late family lunch with my Granddaughter. Just a few diners, but the other areas of the pub were fairly busy with drinkers. This pub was in the final four for last year's CAMRA POTY. Shame it didn't win as it would have been a worthy winner in my opinion.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peerless - Paxtons Peculiar | 4.10 | | Very flavoursome |
| Slater's - Smoked Porter | 4.80 | | Beechwood smoked malt. Not quite as anthracite as a Bamberg but going in that direction. |
| Weetwood - Cheshire Cat | 4.00 | | Very much a Northern beer with its distinctive malt taste. |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
