Quiet at lunchtime. I was initially baffled by the Czech-style beer, which was labelled ‘Merrie City Craft Beers – Westgate Brewery”. I feared a Greene King beer to start with, before remembering that the Merrie City is Wakefield – surely Clark’s are small enough to be considered a craft brewery anyway, without having to invent a ‘craft’ alter ego?
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clark's (sometimes shown as Westgate Brewery) - Classic Blonde | 3.90 | | A rather thin Blonde beer, with grassy, piney hops. Served over-chilled. |
| Merrie City (sub-brand of Clark's) - Czechmate | 4.10 | | An amber-coloured Lager, brewed with authentic Czech hops. Served a bit too warm from the cask. |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Adnams - Ghost Ship | 4.50 | Not Tried |
