Fairly quiet on a Tuesday evening, just the 3 beers on. Juke box is pretty good. Good local pub especially if you live in the same street and you can pop across the road for a pint, like the guy I saw when I was unlocking my bike who braved the rain for the 3 seconds it took to run from his front door to the pub
BeerABVScoreNotes
Badger (Hall & Woodhouse) - Best4.00AcceptableReddish copper colour, hop and yeast nose, acidic yeasty flavour with malt and very floral hop finish. Can never decide if I like it or not. Well served though

Fairly quiet early afternoon. Lots of beer mats on the wall to keep the beer enthusiast happy.
