After some dazzling cask beers recently there wasn't much of interest tonight. Luckily there was more than enough craft keg to choose from.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| six°north - Hop Classic (keg) | 6.60 | | Back on form this was drying, bitter and hoppy. Served fresh and cool. |

Quiet early evening. Landlord outselling other cask beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

Pleasant and friendly.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alechemy - Bad Day at The Office Pale Ale | 4.50 | | Dark golden pale ale with thin white head. Some spiciness and restained hopping - quite easy drinking. |

Convivial. One new bar staff settling in really well. Greetings for incomers and managed the queue well.

Mostly locals 'enjoying' the football and the crack.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tiny Rebel - FUBAR | 4.40 | | Enjoyable. Spicy hops shone through. |

Sometimes we take for granted how lucky we are to have one of the UK's great pubs on the door step.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moor - So'Hop | 4.10 | | Uncompromising. Unfined, unfiltered and bursting with hoppy bitterness. |
| Hawkshead - Lakeland Gold | 4.40 | Not Tried |
22 Nov 2013 (McGargle)
Busy. One bar staff struggled to cope and resorted to the dreaded 'Who's next?' rather than managing the queue.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wild Beer Co. - Epic Saison | 5.00 | | Much better than Rogue Wave. Fresh, tasty, refreshing but still timid in comparison to, say, Dupont. Different markets presumably? |
| Cromarty - Rogue Wave | 5.70 | | Restrained rather than full on. Good use of malts. |
15 Nov 2013 (McGargle)
Mostly locals tonight. Craft keg just increased from £3.20 to £4.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blackjack - Four of a Kind (keg) | 6.80 | | Well crafted big US style IPA. |
10 Nov 2013 (McGargle)
Pleasantly busy. Regulars recovering from beer fest.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buxton - High Tor | 6.30 | | A red IPA which would have benefitted from a warmer dispense (keg). |
21 Oct 2013 (McGargle)
Mostly locals tonight
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bristol Beer Factory - Milk Stout | 4.50 | | Brave to brew and brave to stock this was an excellent example of a classic style. Coffee, chocolate with a distinct milky overlay - top stuff. |
| Tiny Rebel - Flux | 4.00 | | Black Pale Ale, unusually for The Marine, ruined by poor dispense. Over-chilled and over-carbonated from the keg. |
| Fyne - Wee Jaggy Gruit | 3.80 | | This didn't work for me at all. Low hop rate, overly malty with strong herby hints from nettle and bog myrtle. |
