Swift visit mid evening. Pleasantly quiet. Salopian Light Fantastic at 4.2 also on. Only the four ales on - fewest I’ve seen here for a long time. All under £4 a pint though.

Evening- I had just been to a walking football session nearby and was thirsty. Met my son for a rather enjoyable small session. The previous landlord was in plus a good smattering of locals. 3 other ales on, not noted.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Shiny - Disco Balls5.30ExcellentFirst pint was superb, second was the end of the barrel - still good but very slightly hazy. It was offered free! No complaints.

Afternoon catch-up with my son and partner. Usual good selection of ales - as it was Sunday I went for the stronger end, very good session.

Early lunchtime- first one in but started to fill nicely around 1. Interesting chat with the philosophy student barperson.

Mid afternoon- beer festival. Cold day so relatively small turnout - but growing as the evening approached. An excellent selection of ales at normal, low, New Inn prices - unlike the rather lacklustre event going on in the Dane John. At least a dozen other ales on.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Oakham - White Dwarf4.30ExcellentSo good to see this back from Oakham. Reminiscences of Dover’s New Mogul and their “kill the dwarf” sessions - where 9 gallons were quaffed in a couple of hours or so.
360° - Session IPA4.30Good
Beerblefish - Hoppy Pale No. 144.50Good
