This month's venue for our NESW group I arrived around 12.30 and joined around 10 of our group already enjoying their first pint. A few other customers dotted about and became much busier until our early evening departure.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Oakham - JHB3.80ExcellentHops and fruit on the palate are balanced by malt and a bitter base with a dry hoppy finish and soft fruit flavours.
Oakham - Bishops Farewell4.60ExcellentA golden, premium beer with a smooth, malty background, rich and fruity hop flavours and a refreshing finish.
Oakham - Inferno4.00ExcellentComplex golden ale leaving a dry fruity, thirst suppressing bitter finish.
Stancill - Barnsley Bitter3.80ExcellentProbably the benchmark of what a traditional English bitter should be!
Nene Valley - El Dorado4.60PoorWell past its best became noticeably more acetic and cloying.

A group of us arrived just before the advertised 12:00 opening and were pleased to find that the door was opened punctually. We were the first customers and had the place to ourselves for a short while.

12:45 Couple on the bank but just one other in the bar. Lot smarter than I remember the place from my last visit.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Wentworth - Blueberry Stout4.50ExcellentVery fruity. I would describe it as a porter as it was a bit thin to be a stout.

A mid-evening meet up with Dave K, who lives just around the corner. Pub busy, although most are in the garden on dry land, rather than aboard ship.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Abbeydale - Beer Works Dr Morton's Moon block Factor #94.10GoodA pretty decent, hoppy, golden pint.
Dunscar (formerly Dunscar Bridge) - Cask No. 404.00AcceptableA dry-hopped Pilsner in rather flat condition. Not sure about this.

The pub is found in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, PE1 1FP.

Take a permanently moored old Dutch barge on the River Nene, kit it out with a below deck bar run and stocked by one of the top breweries in the UK, add a touch of live music, regular events and festivals and finish it off with a fine-quality oriental restaurant on the top deck. Inspired - and quite probably the best thing about Peterborough. 12 cask ales always on (more during festivals).

We have visited this pub 17 times, seen 74 different beers and tried 32 of them.
