First in the pub on a sunny Friday morning.Inter alia, our dogs caused a minor riot, and we pondered whether ghosts had a concept of morning. Busy with locals and walkers.

Ten of us in for a lunchtime drink and snack. Not too busy.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Theakston - Old Peculier | 5.60 | | If Uncle George was rating, he would give 10. That aside, wonderfully dark and treacly, without being cloying.Epic. |
| Yorkshire Dales - Muker Silver | 4.00 | | Almost as good as the other night. |

Popular walkers and locals pub close to the Pennine Way. Busy with dogs and walkers on a half term lunchtime
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yorkshire Dales - Muker Silver | 4.00 | | Very pale, dominated by hops. |
| Yorkshire Dales - Crow Trees | 4.20 | | A darker beer Not sure if I'd call it a mild, as hop notes predominate,and not warming enough for an old. I'll settle for a dark bitter. |
