Great Friday evening with lots of beer drinking going on and more ladies in the bar than men! Everyone seemed to be brewing their own beer in their garage. Seems compulsary to mash your own beer. Must use Goachers or Harveys yeast though.

| Rooster's - Elderflower | 3.70 | | Superb nose, full of fruit. Lovely ladies drink. |
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | Malty and very hoppy |
