1930 Sunday, all is quiet with only one new ale added to recent postings.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beartown (latterly part of Manning Brewers) - Peach Melbear | 4.40 | | As expected, refreshingly fruity, and perfect for summertime. The ladies should like this one! |

Alas, no change from last two days visits. Slow turnover here, allegedly! Straight out.

Swore I would never come back but the ratings for the beer festival have been good here so stopped in for one.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phoenix - Double Gold | 5.00 | | OK strong golden ale. |
| Brains - Honest Ale | 4.50 | | Gold, slight haze, lasting beige head. Toffee caramel bitter, it's ok if a bit to much on the caramel for me. Some dryness on finish. |

Actually beers here are £1-95 as opposed to £1-89 at Society Rooms. But finished upstairs where I was charged £2-10 when I bought a pint rather than thirds ! Bizarre pricing!

Nothing (festwise) new to tick, so, an old one, Mauldons Silver Adder sampled, and in good condition. This place was "heaving" at 2215 due to student holidays ect?

An early evening Bank holiday Monday visit, and, pleasantly surprised to see the beer festival has already started here! 5 new festival ales on, plus 2 others and one already gone. Apparently, it started here on Good Friday! Very impressed, as this place normally gets negative reviews. £2.10 per pint until the fest officially starts on Wednesday, when it will be £1.89. I'm going to be very busy hunting down these festival ales for the next few weeks for sure?
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Titanic - Tomahawk | 5.00 | | Another for the festival. A superb ale. |
| Greene King - Suffolk Springer | 5.50 | | Another festival ale. Top class taste, which is very surprising coming from GK? |
| Wadworth - Farmers Glory | 4.70 | | For the festival, good taste and in good conditon. |
| Highgate - Davenport's Beer Hunter | 4.50 | | Another new ale for the festival. Very good. |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |

| Mauldons - Silver Adder | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Marston's - Zululand Zulu Blonde | 4.50 | Not Tried | Damn. Gone already! Another for the festival. A guest brewer from South Africa brewing at Marstons. One to hunt down for sure. |
