15:00 Still busy with diners. Barman told me that Manager tries for local beers to supplement the standard range.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sambrook's - Pumphouse Pale Ale | 4.20 | | Good nick but an odd back taste. I find that Sambrook's beers always disappoint. |

Mid-evening visit and I stood at the bar talking potatoes and allotments with Leeds Ken.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydes - Burnt Sienna | 5.00 | | Amber coloured. A pleasant, rather spicy hop taste. |
| Inveralmond - Frisco Steamy | 4.40 | | Golden-coloured. A rather thick, buttery, malt taste – probably shouldn’t have been like this if the festival tasting notes are to be believed. |
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Courage Directors (use Banks's entry now please) | 4.80 | Not Tried | |

Quite busy early on a Friday evening – but not a particularly nice atmosphere, and one customer ended up getting “barred for life” after a shouting match out of sight from our seats. Time to move on to the Red Lion.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wadworth - Blunderbuss | 5.00 | | A brown, full-bodied, malt-led bitter. Bit of hop in the finish. |
| Caledonian - Tree Brewing Thirsty Beaver | 5.00 | | Chestnut-coloured, malty, nutty and sweetish. Caramel tastes. But in flat condition here and may have more to offer than this. |
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Courage Directors (use Banks's entry now please) | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
