Good as ever. The guy with 'dreads' has a great eye for customer service.

Just starting to get busy. Top beer choice. Five six'north beers on keg. Top place.

Jammed. Bar staff busy but made no attempt to manage queue. He who shouts loudest gets served first. Not good.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salopian - Oracle | 4.00 | | Light and hoppy golden ale. |
| Magic Rock - Salty Kiss | 5.00 | Not Tried | Keg. |

Early evening and heaving. Wonder why?
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| six°north - Hop Classic (keg) | 6.60 | | When all (cask) fails there's Hop Classic. |
| Windswept - APA | 5.00 | | Some slight hopping but dominated by cardboard. Not a problem with the serve. |
