Our first visit to a cracking pub. Near the river and oozing with atmosphere. Fyne Ales tap takeover tonight.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fyne - Golden Mild | 3.60 | | Reminiscent of Tomothy Tayhlor's Golden Best this was a flawlessy executed light mild. Fully deserved its 5*. |
| Fyne - Hurricane Jack | 4.40 | | One of my favourite beers but not quite so hop forward tonight. |
| Fyne - Whisky Barrel Aged Jarl | 6.70 | | This was a strange one. Jarl aged in whisky barrels was, according to the brewer, expected to turn out around 4.5%abv. It didn't! Flavour was overpoweringly whisky with no hint of the base beer. Interesting but misjudged. |

Around 2 hours later than planned owing to missed connections and delyed trains we headed straight to here. Quiet for a mid Friday afternoon with just 3 others in we opted for the snug and were soon joined by many others.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Allendale - Golden Plover | 4.00 | | Full bodied flavoursome golden ale with citrus notes and an enticing floral aroma. |
| Five Points - Best | 4.10 | | Notes of caramel and biscuit, and a lovely grassy, herbal freshness. |
| Twice Brewed - Sycamore Gap | 4.10 | | A pint of Jif lemon anyone? Thankfully just a taster |
| Fyne - Hurricane Jack | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Burning Sky - Porter | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| Allendale - Anvil | 5.50 | Not Tried | Sadly this had just gone |

Evening visit thanks to Mr P's recommendation. It didn't disappoint - not all ales noted - too dark - one was a World's End brew. I was told later this pub is nicknamed "the coffin". It is higher than it is wide.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Allendale - GFPA | 4.70 | | Well balanced and in top condition. |

Late-ish evening visit, with the crowds thinning out a bit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redscar - Poison | 4.00 | | A very dark ruby red mild. Smooth. Caramel. Not the sort of thing I usually much care for, but this is really good for its style. |
| Hadrian and Border - Tyneside Blonde | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
| Loch Lomond - Bonnie & Blonde (was Bonnie N’ Blonde) | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

This is actually the first time I have ever been here – no surprise to find that I like the place. Quiet in mid-afternoon.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yorkshire Dales - Carperby Calypso | 3.80 | | A very pale beer with a strong, bittersweet, hop taste. |
| Wylam - Gold Tankard | 4.00 | | Golden in colour. Plenty of hops, but dominated by a ‘cereal’ taste that personally I don’t like. |
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Hadrian and Border - Tyneside Blonde | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
| Hadrian Border - Black Gate | 4.00 | Not Tried |
