| Adnams - Pretty Things Jack D'Or Saison Americaine | 6.00 | | |

Late evening whistlestop. A very helpful member of staff went out of his way to find me a latest copy of local CAMRA magazine Draught Copy.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Brewster's - Pandora | 4.80 | | Traditionally coloured bitter. Rather cloying maltiness and too fruity for me |

Fourth JDw this afternoon.Used to have a bad reputation here but much improved these days. Centrally located. Large busy all glass type building. Found four festival winners needed here so, at 1630, the decision to stay for a curry and four pints was not a hard one to make?
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Budelse - Capucijn | 6.00 | | An exceptionally good Dutch beer. Assume it's been shipped over rather than brewed in the UK. Good condition. Beer of the day? |
| Shepherd Neame - Goose Island Honkers Ale | 4.20 | | Brewed at Shepherd Neame. And not bad at all. |
| Sharp's - Gentle Jane | 4.80 | | Very good this one. |
| Marston's - Zululand Zulu Blonde | 4.50 | | At last,good to find it on, but, sadly, a disappointing brew, nothing special at all. |
| Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Val-Dieu Abbaye Blonde | 5.50 | Not Tried |
