Evening until the last bell tolled. The smaller room across the entrance lobby is now in regular use and lots of tables set out, in part of the main hall, for tomorrow's dining opportunities.
| Hastings - Handmade 11 | 5.40 |  | Excellent dry Black IPA |
| Celt Experience (now brands are owned by Evans Evans) - Scrumpox | 4.60 | | Pepper and tangerine notes. Ran out as I wanted more more more |
| Blue Monkey - Guerrilla Stout | 4.90 |  | Mr Mugabe always comes to mind when I see this beer for sale - Pamela Stephenson and all that |
27 Feb 2014 (Philip Pirrip)

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)

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 |

| 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 | |

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 | |
