Late evening visit until close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kent - Zingiber | 4.10 | | |
| Weird Beard - Mariana On Mango | 7.10 | | A novelty beer heavily infused with mango making it look like a smoothie, strong enough after two to create a lamb doner kebab craving, which was later sated |

19 Aug 2021 (Philip Pirrip)
Late evening visit until close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Westerham - 1965 Special Bitter Ale | 4.80 | | OK but not a favourite of mine |
| Franklins - Eclipse | 4.00 | | |
| Goffs - Jester Brew 7 - Mosaic Pale | 4.00 | | Pre-warned this was vegan friendly hazy but did not expect a glass of murk with tooth shattering nasty sharp sourness making this hardly a drink one could call ale / beer. I finished it with much resentfulness against the world of brewing |
