Late evening visit after a long day catching up at work. Other beers as listed by PP.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Siren Craft - Liquid Mistress Red IPA | 5.80 | | One of my favourites, although tasting a little bit raw/fresh here today. Still excellent. |
| Salopian - Sienna | 4.40 | | A tasty, hoppy, golden beer. |
| Tap East - Poplar Pale Ale | 3.80 | | A malty, golden beer that has appeared at various different strengths up to 5.0% over the years, although not brewed for some time until recently. |

Tap East’s own beers are in sparse supply just now as they are recruiting a new brewer and stocks were much depleted by the crowds attending recent athletics events.

Early evening and full of shoppers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - Tonic Ale | 3.00 | | The HBC431-hopped version of this beer. Very fresh. |
| Bristol Beer Factory - Fortitude | 4.00 | | A malt-led Amber Ale. Way above average for the style I thought. |
| Legitimate Industries - Timeshare Scam | 4.50 | | From keg. Cloudy yellow/gold. A well-hopped Wheat Beer. Very tasty although a bit over-carbonated for my tastes. |

Sunday evening after the crowds have gone. I spent time chatting with a friend who had enjoyed a day exploring the pubs of Sandwich and Deal and had just arrived back in Stratford on the Bullet Train.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Squawk - Sorachi Stout | 7.10 | | Black, with a brown head. A beautiful, full-on, dry, roasted Stout with lovely Sorachi Ace hop flavours. Perfect. |
| Tap East - A.P.A. (American Pale Ale) | 4.30 | | In top form. |
| TicketyBrew - Summer IPA | 6.00 | | Golden. Obviously a strong beer, but not as full-bodied as you would expect for the abv. |

Brief early evening visit. Not too busy despite a local athletics event. Keg beers here at amazingly rising prices, a Japanese one at £9.50pp and a 5.5% Arbor at £7.50. And people are buying!
