Good crowd in, including Andrew and Ian. Pub No2
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burning Sky - Aurora | 5.60 | | Really excellent strong hoppy pale ale. |
| Mad Cat - Thanksgiving Winter Warmer | 5.50 | | I didn't realise it was this strong. Excellent again, though - and so was the Feckless that I had a little taste of - super line up of ales. |
