Stalked the City Walls to get here for 2025 hours. For once a large crowd drinking at the bar. Friendly and knowledgeable staff as always.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kirkstall - Three Swords | 4.50 | | Verdict after getting half day down the first pint was that is was another mediocre golden ale then excitement set in on the lips forcing the ordering of a second pint. Before I could finish telling the barmaid this she had observed that the beer grows on you. She was not a wax dummy but rather Madame Three Swords (geddit?). |

Very busy at 2125 hours for a wet night. Hardy folk had gone t'Brig for good beer. Found more customers drinking at the bar than I have seen before. Bar staff very friendly, informative, helpful and conversational.

| Timothy Taylor - Golden Best (was 3.5%) | 3.40 | | Never sure whether this is a light mild or a Boys' Bitter. Refreshing and traditional flavour. A delight |

Very quiet on a monday afternoon
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| York (now brewed by and at Black Sheep) - Centennial | 4.00 | | Amber beer full of bitter hops + tangy citrus. Quite similar to jaipur but much less raved about. Creamy lasting head. |

Quiet, early evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| York (now brewed by and at Black Sheep) - Guzzler | 3.60 | | Darker gold with more mouthfeel and 'presence'than the Elland. Rich malt and some hop spice. |
| Elland - Best Bitter | 4.00 | | Golden ale with some hoppy bitterness, slightly thin, nothing from the malts. Short finish. |

The pub is found in York, North Yorkshire, YO1 6JX.
In Micklegate, an open long room with good choice of ales. Mainly seated accommodation here - few seem to stand around the bar. Closed for a short period in Spring 2013 and re-opened in April 2013 extended into next door premises with extra table seating adding about an extra 50% capacity. 10 handpumps on the bar. Announced in June 2010 would not be opening after the Covid-19 lockdown ends and it is reported that the building's owner wishes to "re-purpose" it.
We have visited this pub 32 times, seen 109 different beers and tried 42 of them.
