22 Dec 2012 (Stephen Harris)
We met up here with quite a large group of Notts County supporters of our acquaintance – only to discover at 1pm that our match had been postponed because of the heavy rain. Oh dear, it looks like we shall have to spend the rest of the day “sightseeing” in Nottingham.

| Salopian - Vertigo | 7.20 | | A strong beer in the Black IPA style. Plenty of citrusy hops. |

11 Feb 2012 (Martin the Mildman)
Very busy with loud groups of youths shouting at the screens showing football. Despite a good selection of guest beers, the need to move on was pressing.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Holden's - Temple of Love | 4.50 | | Golden bitter with a sweetish flavour with a hint of honey. Typical house style malty flavour and some citrus hop in the finish leaving a lingering aftertaste of malt, honey and hops. My score 16/20. |
| Magpie - Raven Stout | 4.40 | | Dry stout with roast malt dominating and a dry, roast finish. My score 15/20. |
| Backyard - Silly Rucker | 4.60 | | Amber bitter with a bitter flavour but not much else going for it. My score 14/20. |

The pub is found in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, NG1 2EG.
Former Hogshead now independently owned with an interesting range of guest ales. Cheap food and a plethora of sports screens just take the edge off it a bit.
We have visited this pub 3 times, seen 10 different beers and tried 6 of them.
