Stewart - 185.60UndrinkableSour. Either it had gone off or had not been pulled through. In either case it was undrinkable.

Busy. Perhaps short staffed but service was a bit slow and sullen.

Quiet inside but absolute racket from pnuematic drill along the harbour piers. You wonder why they choose the peak holiday season for heavy civil work. Also 6DN Criterium, a slight rough and ready 7.3% West Coast IPA.
