14 Sep 2012 (Alenomore)
18:00 visit. Met up with my local compatriots in here, at the end there working week. Quite busy, with an impressive, as always, large range of ales on. Great to visit the old place again, and just time now for a couple of samples before we moved on. A current, 2013 gbg entry and 6 times previous in:1987/2008-12
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Offbeat - Out of Step IPA | 5.80 | | A top example of the style, and no surprises that it's another winner today! |
| Empire - Export Stout | 6.00 | | A top stout, full of everything and a second winner here today. Numerous other winners were noted, alas, time to move on. |
08 May 2012 (Martin the Mildman)
Good number in on a Tuesday lunchtime.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

19 Jan 2012 (Martin the Mildman)
Running its own beer festival concurrently with the National Winter one.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saltaire - Cream Stout | 4.00 | | Smooth and creamy black stout with a sweet, milky coffee flavour. Sweetish and fruity finish. My score 16/20. |
| Six Bells - Dozen it taste lovely | 3.90 | | Golden ale with a good balance of hop and malt. My score 15/20. |

| JW Lees (see also Lees) - Prism Mild | 4.10 | | Black in colour with low hop rate and some sweet malt. Rather thin and lacking body. My score 15/20. |

| Distant Hills (was Howard Town) - Shining Clough | 4.00 | | Pale and bitter with dryish citrus hop character. Dry finish. My score 14/20. |
20 Dec 2011 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salamander - Wild Joker Porter | 4.80 | | A black porter with bitter and roast malt flavours giving a full bodied taste with a little hoppiness in the finish. My score 16/20. |
| Irwell Works - Dark Satanic Mills | 4.00 | | Bright red in colour, as a pale beer with added colouring might be. The flavour is that of a pale style, being bitter and quite hoppy with a dryish finish. My score 15/20. |

09 May 2011 (Flying.geordie)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Leyden - Kate & Wills | 4.20 | | |
| Moorhouse's - Top of the Pubs | 3.70 | |
07 May 2011 (Martin the Mildman)
Fairly busy mid Saturday afternoon.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Irwell Works - Tin Plate Dark Mild | 3.60 | | Ruby/black in colour. Sweet and malty with toffee, chocolate and liquorice flavours all present. Low hoppiness. The finish is sweetish and quite fruity. My score 16/20. |
| Summer Wine (SWB) - Valencia Citra Pale Ale | 4.00 | | Very pale and extremely hoppy. As much as I like the Citra hop, there was just a little too much in this, giving a very sharp, unbalanced dry citrus flavour that wasn't entirely to my taste. One for devoted hopheads. My score 14/20. |
20 Jan 2011 (Martin the Mildman)
Beer festival in progress and pub busy as a result.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Irwell Works - Copper Plate | 3.80 | | An excellent example of a traditional English bitter, lots of biscuity malt and background hoppiness. Long malty finish. Not one for hop lovers. My score 16/20. |
| Epicurus Craft Beer (formerly Hornbeam) - All The Right Notes | 4.20 | | Smooth and well rounded pale bitter with a good balalnce of flavours. My score 16/20. |
| Phoenix - P*ss Off Porter | 4.70 | | Sweet and malty with toffee and choclate flavours. Some fruity hop in the finish. My score 17/20. |
| Star Brewing Company - After The Thaw | 4.00 | | New brewery for Bazens'. A dryish bitter with a smokey malt character. My score 14/20. |
| Empire - Rat Catcher | 3.90 | | Pale bitter with a dryish hop character and finish. My score 14/20. |
| Grafton - Moon Frost | 4.10 | | Golden Ale with a taste as strange as its name. Strong phenolic bitterness with little balance. Not to my taste. My score 9/20. |
02 Oct 2010 (Martin the Mildman)

Food again available here so partook of a very substantial ham omlette and chips.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salamander - Star Turn | 4.00 | | Hoppy and quite bitter pale ale with a hint of Sorachi hop giving the tang of cold tea. My score 14/20. |
| Summer Wine (SWB) - Sentinel | 4.50 | | Amber bitter with a dryish, bitter character and finish. My score 14/20. |
