Good to see some interesting beers. Just missed BBF Seven and Firebrick IPA.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jaw Brew - Drift | 4.60 | | Golden ale which didn't know if it was premium bitter or something more modern. Muddled. |

Last day of the folkfestival so a great atmosphere in the pubs and along the harbour wall. Impromptu music sessions to enjoy.

Yet another poor cask selection. Multiple CAMRA POTY!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Swannay (formerly Highland) - Muckle IPA | 6.60 | | Little subtlety and no attempt to mask its strength in this West Coast IPA. A welcome departure for Highland, none the less. Keg and £6.20 a pint. |

Quiet buzz.

|---|---|---|---|
| Cromarty - Hit The Lip | 3.80 | | To quote MtMM: Pale golden with a sweetish fruity citrus hop character. Some malt balance and a fruity citrus finish. |

Plenty of choice for the hop averse. Think TSA, Belhaven etc. But the place was rammed.

Good buzz of chat. Excellent service .
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fyne - Hurricane Jack | 4.40 | | With a sparkler this would have been 5*. |
| Broughton - Mighty XP | 6.00 | | Old Worthy XP expensively rebranded. Shame it's pretty much the same beer. |
