Early evening New Year's Eve and already busy. Good solid demand for the cask ales and the excellent Dosa restaurant just across the road.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wainstones - Steel River | 4.30 | | Light chestnut with good creamy head. Solid malt body with good depth of hop flavours. Lingering dry finish. |
| Ossett - Pale Gold | 3.80 | | Sparkling light gold. Initially spicy in the mouth but eventually lacking in body and flavour. |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Batemans - XXXB (now superseded by 4.8% version) | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Shepherd Neame - Bishops Finger | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Hook Norton - Old Hooky | 4.60 | Not Tried | |

Really lively in the fashionable drinking area of boro. Good starting point for the night out. However beer festival selection was poor.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hook Norton - Flagship | 5.30 | | Amber hoppy and easy drinkable ipa. Hasnt the hoppy overload of some but that makes it less bloating to have a few! Blindingly white head too. |
| Maxim - Samson | 4.00 | | Ruby coloured slightly thick bitter. Rich body but nothing too distinct flavour wise. |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Marston's - Wychwood Hobgoblin IPA (was Ruby Beer, was Hobgoblin) | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Daleside - Monkey Wrench (was 5.4%) | 5.30 | Not Tried | |
| Maxim - Andersons Best Scotch | 4.20 | Not Tried |
