All change. Rob, the bar manager, has gone off to work at the 6°N brewery. The new bar manager is Robbie who used to be head chef.

| Timothy Taylor - Landlord | 4.30 | | As it should be. |

New staff behind the bar struggling to get WiFi working.
Only one guest in a sea of cask and keg 6DN beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stewart - Citra Blonde | 4.00 | | Nothing wrong with the serve but it pales (no pun) in comparison to say Jarl or Oakham Citra. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windswept - 1806 | 5.00 | | Typical roasty Scottish stout. |
| Stewart - 18 | 5.60 | | Sour. Either it had gone off or had not been pulled through. In either case it was undrinkable. |

Busy. Perhaps short staffed but service was a bit slow and sullen.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loch Lomond - Southern Summit | 4.00 | | Unremarkable. |
| Cromarty - Brewed Awakening | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Cromarty - Hit The Lip | 3.80 | Not Tried |

Quiet inside but absolute racket from pnuematic drill along the harbour piers. You wonder why they choose the peak holiday season for heavy civil work.
Also 6DN Criterium, a slight rough and ready 7.3% West Coast IPA.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fyne - Jarl | 3.80 | | Very fresh. Struggled to fill the glass. |
