1700 visit. The Jockmeister is on, his 06th night. Stayed for 4 hours and saw a steady stream of different customers/characters come and go? Quiz kicked off when I left. In addition to the "Black stuff", I sampled all 3 ales on tonite?

1930 visit and final call with my "chauffeur" tonite! Very rowdy tonite with a few "characters" in since lunchtime, but it's still good news, because we're all spending money, and the Jockmeister is on duty and we're supporting our local pub? Nuff' said.
