Plenty of customers here to enjoy the launch of the pub's new brewing operation.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timothy Taylor - Dark Mild | 3.50 | | Jet Black and on top form here. Smooth and chocolatey with a hint of liquorice and a good malty finish. My score 16/20. |
| Golcar - Sportsman Brewing Co. Pigeon Bridge Porter | 4.70 | | Produced at Golcar while the pub's own brewery is built, this was a classic complex porter with roast coffee, dark choc and burnt toast flavours with a hoppy finish. My score 16/20. |
| Summer Wine (SWB) - Valencia Citra Pale Ale | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Mallinsons - Sarah's Sweater | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Golcar - Sportsman Brewing Co. Alpha Ale | 4.30 | Not Tried |
