Mid evening not too busy just a few groups dotted about. One could've wrongly assumed tonight was an Old Dairy brewery takeover event as most of the handpumps were either Red Top or Copper Top with just the three usual suspects otherwise available.
Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Red Top | 3.80 |  | Malty with hints of blackcurrant and treacle near on perfect condition and temperature. |
Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | Always good to see JDW still supporting this scarce ale. |
Greene King - Ruddles Best (was 3.7%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Copper Top | 4.10 | Not Tried | |

Mid evening with 30 minutes to wait for my bus home so just in time for a relaxed pint..
Wantsum - Dynamo | 4.30 |  | Just about managed to chew my way through this sickly sweet murky pond water.. |
12 May 2022 (Magnus Greel)
Met a friend here early evening for a pub crawl of Ashford's finest.. Busy but late enough to have missed the pushchair brigade!
Oakham - Citra | 4.20 |  | |
Lancaster - Black | 4.50 |  | More of a watery porter than a chewy stout |
Greene King - Ruddles County | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
Hook Norton - Old Hooky | 4.60 | Not Tried | |
Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | A regular here |

Met a few friends here late afternoon, we opted to sit in the quieter more adult friendly front of the pub as the back half had been turned into a creche.
Adnams - Lighthouse | 3.40 |  | |
Saltaire - New World Red | 5.20 |  | This malty offering had just come on. |
Sambrook's - Junction | 4.50 |  | Risked a pint of this surprisingly had flavour but became ever cloying towards the end. |

Fairly busy for a Monday evening, I met a group of friends here and enjoyed a good chat and few beers. Haggis and Neeps was on offer as the Manager's Special tonight.
Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Copper Top | 4.10 |  | |
Wantsum - Red Raddle | 5.00 |  | |
Wantsum - Imperium | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

Afternoon visit and not too busy.
Wantsum - Imperium | 4.00 |  | A short measure but at £1.49 I decided not to argue. A nice pint of Imperium. |

Friday afternoon and fairly busy. I popped in for a curry and pint meal deal.

Hanlons (formerly O'Hanlon's) - Devon Darkness | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
20 Jan 2022 (Magnus Greel)
Met a couple of friends here for a mid afternoon to early evening session, sadly just the one non national bland beer on offer we left once we'd finished the barrel off between us.
Woodforde's - Wherry | 3.80 |  | Perfect right up to the final scrapings. |

Sunday afternoon, I found myself a table towards the rear of the pub.
Lancaster - Red | 4.80 |  | |
Woodforde's - Wherry | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

Mid Sunday afternoon busy with family groups in the front bar with others occupying the rear. Friendly efficient service with each pint served with no room to spare. I didn't bother including the usual offerings here.
Woodforde's - Wherry | 3.80 |  | Not as watery as expected with the recognisable flavours coming through. |
Lancaster - Red | 4.80 |  | Not a fan of chewy 'red' beers but this was very good, smoky yet smooth and dry with hints of chestnuts. |
