A good Friday night crowd and a decent band on. And a belated well done to Dave & Julie on winning the local Pub of the year award for 2010.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goacher's - Best Dark Ale (aka Original) | 4.10 | | In tip top condition here. |
| Dark Star - Over The Moon | 3.80 | | One of Dark Stars' best ales. |
| Dark Star - Saison | 4.50 | | A good interpretation of a classic Belgium style beer. And two samples this visit. |
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 |  | A good seller here. |
| Banks's - Young's London Original (was Bitter) - previously brewed in Bedford and at Wychwood | 3.70 | | A decent steady seller here. I think it tastes much better since Well's took over the brewing. |
