Late evening visit until close. Most handpumps pulled back in the "run out" messaging style.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Twickenham (also uses sub-brand Old Hands) - Grandstand Bitter | 3.80 | | One I would never choose if a wider range on tap but this was in foaming condition, fully flavoured, a proper basic bitter |
