A rare lunchtime opening due to the “winter wobbler” 5 mile walk (in very wintry weather conditions). I just came early for the Uberhop. Same other two beers on from Friday’s visit as well.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - ÜberHop | 5.20 | | Strange choice to brew this very summery ale only In January. But very nice all the same. |

Early evening. Fire in the snug. A few familiar faces.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
