Evening until close. Sunday lunches had been served today for the first time with weekday meals to follow within days.
| Harbour - Chocolate and Vanilla Imperial Stout (keg) | 8.70 |  | A chaser half. So dry it was like sucking blotting paper. Great vanilla taste |
| St Austell - Tribute | 4.20 |  | Always a disappointment these days |
| Hastings - Handmade No. 5 Hop-Forward Pale Ale (Galaxy) | 4.80 | | Unfined means as cloudy as a scrumpy cider |

| Brains - SA | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| RedWillow - Headless | 3.90 | Not Tried | |

06 Feb 2014 (Stephen Harris)
I had some bother finding this place – I really should take the trouble to look up addresses before I set out sometimes. Like most Antic pubs, you are not quite sure whether the internal decoration is complete to the company’s satisfaction, or in fact not yet started.
| Ilkley - Fireside Porter | 4.20 | | A black, smoky, creamy porter. |
| Crate - Best | 4.30 | | Chestnut-coloured. Toffee/caramel and some hops. But sweet – very sweet. It’s not usually this sweet is it? |
| St Austell - Tribute | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Grain - 3.1.6. | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
| Wild Card - Jack of Clubs | 4.50 | Not Tried | The Wild Card Brewery in Walthamstow should be in production very soon. |
| Tap East - Brewery Birthday Scarred Belgian (in collaboration with Celt Experience) | 7.30 | Not Tried | |
02 Feb 2014 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until close.
| Hand Drawn Monkey - IPΔ Extra Pale IPA | 5.00 | | |
| Tap East - Brewery Birthday Scarred Belgian (in collaboration with Celt Experience) | 7.30 | | |
| Brewster's - Hophead | 3.60 | Not Tried | |
| Crate - Golden Ale | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Dominion - Canada | 4.90 | Not Tried | |
01 Feb 2014 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening. To the right of the entrance hall a new room has been opened and was being used for a party. Continuous Beatles's tracks over the airwaves.
| Hand Drawn Monkey - IPΔ Extra Pale IPA | 5.00 | | Full hop hit |
| Tap East - Brewery Birthday Scarred Belgian (in collaboration with Celt Experience) | 7.30 | | So smooth |
| Kissingate - Ruby Plum Porter | 4.80 | | Well captured dry plum flavouring |
| Crate - Golden Ale | 3.80 | | Very disappointing - a pretty much nothing taste |
| Brewster's - Hophead | 3.60 | Not Tried | |
| Dominion - Canada | 4.90 | Not Tried | |
26 Jan 2014 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until close. Only a handful in.
| Timothy Taylor - Landlord | 4.30 | | |
| Alechemy - 10 Storey Malt Bomb | 4.50 | | Well brewed and kept but not to my taste. Should I have known it'd be overly malty from the name? |
| Whitstable - Native Bitter | 3.70 | | Thin |
| Cottage - Golden Arrow | 4.50 | Not Tried | Never try Cottage (or rarely) |
| Cronx - Single Hop IPA Cascade | 6.00 | Not Tried | |
19 Jan 2014 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening. Quiet - just ones and twos in.
| Dominion - A Mild With No Name! | 5.50 | | I enjoyed this with hints of cherries and currants |
| Shamblemoose - #8 Pamplemoose Grapefruit IPA | 5.00 | | Expected a pale but got a mid brown beer. Maybe expected the look of a grapefruit in my mind's eye |
| Rooster's - Saint Robert | 4.50 | | Dark brown bitter but insufficient carbonation / condition to make it enjoyable |
| Alechemy - Rye O' Rye | 5.60 | Not Tried | |
18 Jan 2014 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening. A large birthday party had swelled the ranks here.
| Alechemy - Rye O' Rye | 5.60 | | Like a red ale |
| St Austell - Tribute | 4.20 | Not Tried | Ran out |
| Tap East - Tonic Ale | 3.00 | Not Tried | |
| Dominion - A Mild With No Name! | 5.50 | Not Tried | |
15 Jan 2014 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening. Only 2 real ales on then just 1 as cellar alterations taking place to raise the stillages.
| Cronx - Entire Porter | 5.20 | | Full bodied |
| Ledbury Real Ales - Ledbury Gold | 4.00 | | Last one out and as excellent as the first I'd aver |
