18 May 2024 (Philip Pirrip)
Late evening visit until close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | | In peak condition. Can't wait to try some when brewed in the ex Marston's Union Sets |
| Vocation - Naughty & Nice | 5.90 | | Chocolate stout poured through the duff handpump but some multiple decantings between two glasses brought this up to scratch |
| New Bristol - Bristol Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Siren Craft - Suspended in Strata | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Buxton - Deepdale | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| RedWillow - Doubtless | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Rooster's - Impractical Ideas (collaboration with Fyne) | 4.70 | Not Tried |
11 May 2024 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Five Points - Best Fuggles Hops | 4.10 | | Had the bitterness but soon went absolutely flat in the glass making it a chore to finish |
| RedWillow - Headless | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
| Track - Sonoma | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Siren Craft - Broken Dream Breakfast Stout | 6.50 | Not Tried | On the duff pump so did not bother |
| UnBarred (brewed at Two Tribes then later at Missing Link) - Pale Ale – Azacca & Citra | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| Buxton - Deepdale | 4.00 | Not Tried |
04 May 2024 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burning Sky - Aurora | 5.60 | | In good condition, just that I don't remember it being a cloudy ale before |
| Siren Craft - Broken Dream Breakfast Stout | 6.50 | | Pouring from this defective handpump never helps. Full of flavour but even multiple decantings between 2 glasses brought little head or lacing |
| Swannay (formerly Highland) - Scapa Bere | 4.20 | | Brewed with Orkney barley. Little condition and virtually no head or lacing |
| Hammerton - N1 | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Astryd | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Siren Craft - Memento | 3.80 | Not Tried |
27 Apr 2024 (Philip Pirrip)

| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Hirundo | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Track - Sonoma | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
