Pleasant buzz of conversation.

Warm fire. Six 6degN beers on tap.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| six°north - Hopocrisy | 4.60 | | Beer of the evening. Well defined flavour profile and true to style. (Keg) |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | | What used to be a yardstick beer now seems ordinary. Not many hops and little from the malts - more a strong pilsner. 3* just. (Keg) |
| Fyne - Maverick | 4.20 | | Just not to my taste. |

Quiet.

| Fyne - Vital Spark | 4.40 | | Malty but fruity mild. |
| Wild Beer Co. - Fresh | 5.50 | | Wild are one of our better brewers but this example (on keg) was way over carbonated. |
