|---|---|---|---|
| Poachers - Shy Talk Bitter | 3.70 | | Described as Pale Ale. Insubstantial. |

We met the Midlands branch of the family for lunch on a torrential December Friday. Busy with a large elderly birthday party and a group of beddragled shooting gents.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Batemans - XB | 3.70 | | Fine , agricultural pint from an unfashionable but proper brewery. Deep, riverlike malt. |
